Are you telling me that the windshield and labour was only $217!? That can't be right... Was your insurance involved?

Yea their prices are nice.
My dad had his passenger window replaced in his truck, was smashed from attempted robbery, but he didn't claim it and safelite came out and replaced it for around $60 give or take $5.

Yeah I paid about that much for the windshield on my explorer. I couldn't believe how inexpensive it was. I was driving around with a huge crack across my windshield for about 6 years and finally decided to fix it since I was trying to sell the car

I didn't realize that was only trim above the doors. That's pretty cool.

I got mine done today @ work and it came out pretty good. The fitment was great and the glass was nice.

Only problem I had was some glue stains in between the glass and the black film. There were white spots there that the installer had no access to. I asked them to replace the windsheild, so they called the warehouse to confirm that they have a good windshield for me. So they made another appointment for me on Monday to replace the glass.

I wish that it hadnt come to that extent, but the white spots were all over each edge of the windshield. Oh well, we'll try again on Monday. But overall my experience with them is positive.

I had mine done by Speedy Glass, and it came right around $150-$175 (no insurance - paid out of pocket) if I remember right. They were cheaper than Safelite, and did a great job!

Did safelite replace your windshield with a nissan OEM? Also, did the windshield have the black dots on it also?
