PJB Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 Whats an average cost for a new windshield installed on a '97 Cutlass Supreme? I put the one from my parts car in mine but it cracked in one corner. Its a complete crack and people told me it wont spread but Id still like to eventually get a new one. If the cost isnt too bad Ill buy one but otherwise Im gonna put a sticker in that corner until after I put insurance on the car and then claim it on my comprehensive coverage and get it replaced for free.

Bolt_Crank Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 Speedy Glass is gonna charge me $350 Canadian to do mine... Quote
PJB Posted October 25, 2003 Author Report Posted October 25, 2003 Damn, I dont want to pay that much. I guess Ill go with the sticker idea. Ive already had 3 windshields broken. One was the original which broke in the rollover, another was from a 2 door parts car and it cracked while taking it out (dont know why) and this one is from my '96 parts car and it had a chunk missing when we put it in and it cracked the next day. I cant afford a new one now so we put it in. Quote
Rob95CS Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 How big is the crack? Maybe it could be ground out at a windshield repair place. Quote
PJB Posted October 25, 2003 Author Report Posted October 25, 2003 Its the lower corner on the drivers side. Im not sure exactly how big it actually is. Quote
89oldscutlass Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 If a 89 cutty a fit ill give ya one if you come take it out and get it. Quote
topless94style Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 Some places can fill those cracks. Look into that. Quote
gimp19 Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 Alot of junkyards around here charge $50 or less for a windshield. Quote
PJB Posted October 26, 2003 Author Report Posted October 26, 2003 If a 89 cutty a fit ill give ya one if you come take it out and get it. Its a bit of a drive though, especially without a dependable vehicle (Cutlass isnt on the road). Thanks anyway. Quote
PJB Posted October 26, 2003 Author Report Posted October 26, 2003 Some places can fill those cracks. Look into that. Yeah, Ill see about it when its on the road. Quote
PJB Posted October 26, 2003 Author Report Posted October 26, 2003 Alot of junkyards around here charge $50 or less for a windshield. But I would have to pull it and its a major PITA. I already pulled 2 for my car and a bunch for other cars. Quote
Dannymik Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 I did work for a glass company (Safelite) here in Buffalo for 2 1/2 yrs. If its handled under a insurance job then it usually cost 250-350! Honestly the windshield itself is around 50-85 new. Then the labor will add another 100. Swaping the glass should take about an hour. Insurance just boost the price up 200%. :x Now if your planning on getting one from the j/y then make sure you look it over carefully. Stress cracks and oyster defects on the edge of the glass only expand over time...especially when you use your defroster. I wish you lived near Buffalo, because I could get you a good deal with a professional installation. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 The quote I got was $150 installed for brand new glass into the Cutty. The quote came from the place that installed the heated backglass into my Silverado. Quote
C-REX Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Go to a Junk yard and let them take it out it should cost 100 cnd nad 50 for Minute Muffler to install it Quote

PJB Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Posted October 27, 2003 Go to a Junk yard and let them take it out it should cost 100 cnd nad 50 for Minute Muffler to install it Im not from Canada and we dont have Minute Mufflers here. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 27, 2003 Report Posted October 27, 2003 Might be just a local place, their name is Harmon Glass. I called a GM dealer and that was who they referred me to. Quote
PJB Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Posted October 27, 2003 Might be just a local place, their name is Harmon Glass.I called a GM dealer and that was who they referred me to. Shit, theyre the ones that did my '93 S10. My insurance company dealt with them. Quote
Dannymik Posted October 28, 2003 Report Posted October 28, 2003 Harmon Glass is here in NY! They are a good company...they also go mobil so you can get your window fixed when your at work. Thats a good price....like I said your will pay about $100 just for the labor and products they use(Molding, primer, urethane, shit like that). Quote
