Pay the $250.

"If" you get a good new windshield (I'm only batting around .700 with good
new windshields that don't need immediate replacement), "and" you do the job
right, you have saved the $$$. Otherwise, you have made more work than
needed.

Tell them that it isn't an insurance job. You might beat the $250 price. At
any rate, they will come out to your car, and have the new one in after
about 30 minutes.

Well worth the extra $$$, IMHO.

Subject: [Shotimes] replacing windshield

Hey guys, how hard is it to replace the windshield on the SHO? Mine has
a huge crack running right across the middle on the passenger's side for
like half the width of the window, and it looks like it costs about $135
to get one and DIY vice about $250-$300 to get one installed. Looking at
that, the two words with initials "FT" come to mind, and T = 'that'. Is
the windshield the gasket type or the trim type? And would having a
broken wrist (doing push-ups, no less!) greatly hamper that process? I
have to have it done before the safety inspection and that's due in
may... anybody have any tips?
