Default i need a new windshield...

anyone know of a place that can give me a quality replacement (factory would be preferred) that isn't too expensive? it didn't happen at a very opportune time, but mine now has a 10" spider on the passenger side and its needs to be replaced very soon. i'm not gonna claim it through insurance because my payments are already kinda high and my deductibles are higher as well. i'm looking for inexpensive cause i'm paying out of pocket. if anyone can recommend a place, it would be greatly appreciated.

i'm in no hurry. realistically i'd like to have it done by septemeber when it starts to rain again cause cracks reek havoc on wiper blades. not goin through insurance so its all out of pocket. let me know if they are inexpensive.

damn $400 seems kinda high.

i heard safelite? does it for $200 and they come to your house.
but seemed like some people had success and some people got damaged cars from poor installers.

Safelite mobile service came by and fixed a couple dings for me last week. He estimated that a windshield for our cars would cost around $400-500 because of the size/shape and the tint strip on top. Nowhere near $200?

The OP asked for a windshield, and the link i posted is a place where he can get one. No one was asking for a shop until you threadjacked it'
