uploading my pictures tomorrow.
I just want to let every body know that the so called "nissan mobile immobilizer" is not working. The police just got my car back after i just installed new rims on my Z. It was stolen and recovered one day later. My Navigation, radio, and some of the interior parts are gone. My windshield is cracked. And that was all they did to my damn Z. Police found my car about 10 miles away from where i work and they believe some kids just want a joy ride. Anyways, insurance will cover but my damn deductible is high. it is $1K. Thus, I was just wondering if i should cough up some $ and get a new windshield or a used Nissan windshield or aftermarket windshield. What do u guy recommend? If anyone had replaced their windshield before please let me know the cost. Thank you

for safety reasons its not worth it to buy a used windshield. you dont know what type of stress was placed on it by the previous own. like others have said, a new one is less than $300.

i was thinking of getting a used OEM windshield because of the cost. I heard new OEM is around 1k so i was thinking of a used OEM which is about $300 or so i am not sure. But now after what every body said i am thinking of new OEM or new after market.
can anyone please tell me if the aftermarket windshield is good? satellite windshield like many have recommended? thanks

My friend cracked his windshield, and wanted me to search up a place for him. The place i recommended cost him in the low 100's plus installation. Real great work and service. Also, it came with some kind of warranty. Let me see if I can find the place and ill send you the link/contact info.

there are some cars that were branded salvaged title due to theft recovery and some rear end collisions that didnt impact the front windshield. I know because my friend got his Z branded salvaged and he ended up buying a new car with the insurance money. His car is sold to a junk yard. but u are right it is very sketchy

Actually the one that I had installed was better because it had the dots/sunshade that my original didn't have. I've had 3 or 4 windows replaced and never had an issue with any of them. One thing to remember that some places may not tell you, keep your window open ever so slightly to relieve pressure inside the car. This will allow the glue to set without the window "pushing out".

^^ Hey bro,
It was called All Star Glass, and when I looked them up on yelp, they had incredible ratings. Either they are out of business, or they are not on yelp anymore. It was in irvine, but they drive to you. If you don't go to satellite in a few days, I will try to call my friend again and ask him for the number. Sorry.
Btw, it cost him around 120 with warranty. This was around a year ago, and his car still looks great.
