Anyone know where I can find a cheaper windshield for my 2014 Lexus IS350? A rock hit it earlier this week from a truck passing and the crack is about 8 or so inches long. :-(
I've looked at Safelite & they want to charge $650 for a brand new one. Thank you, any suggestions are helpful. :-)

Sorry to hear about your crack. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, and I had to shell out $500 for a deductible and went with Safelite. Is the $650 an insurance deductible, or is that the actual cost of the windshield Safelite is charging you? Cause they quoted me about $1100 for the windshield.

One thing that my insurance agent recommended was to look for used glass....... but I didn't really like the idea of getting used glass for my new car.

Does your policy cover glass? I had mine replaced a few weeks ago, paid a little over a $100 for Lexus glass. the problem you're going to run into is that there aren't too many replacement windshield for the IS. It's pretty messed up your insurance is suggesting used glass, maybe the agent didn't know better?

Yea I think she was just recommending cheaper options if I wanted to avoid filing a claim. But yes, I did make sure to get the OEM lexus glass. Not sure if the OP is interested in getting OEM or OEE glass.

The $650 is the actual cost that Safelite is charging me without the disposable fee and such.

I'd like to go with the OEM Lexus glass. But I may have it all situated now, thanks for the help guys!
