Replacing Windshield

[kdio]

I called Safelite and they use PPG glass and came out and replace my windshield for $250. They are a national company and trust them more than some of these smaller companies.

Glass company. OEM glass is the absolute lowest grade they can get away with. Glass companies are typically going to be a higher grade if they are not the exact same glass.

Mine was higher grade. After a while I had probably 20 pecks in the glass. That was about 2 or 3 years ago. After using aftermarket glass, I have absolutely no pecks nor cracks.

Glass company was "Safelite"

According to the windshield installers and glass repair shops I know up here in the land of gravel on the road, they all say Safelite is the bottom of the barrel as far as quality goes.

Too bad "they" are wrong.

Safelite makes their own cheap glass. My insurance company has a contract with them, and they showed up with thier glass to install in my wifes BMW. I told them to hit the road, I would be better off with Saran Wrap. The guy at GlassDoctor told me they are the largest glass company in the US.
