Rear window replacement
I came home from vacation today to find a shattered rear window on my 93 SC400. Looks like a tree branch fell on it. Anyone every had one replaced? I called safelite and they quoted me about $1,000. That sounds outrageous to me. I'm waiting on more quotes but need to know what a "legitimate" price is. Thanks.

I had a passenger door window on my SC broken, safelite quoted me $500 for the repair, I had it done for $200 locally and the guy came out to my house. Just call around, most places have the same suppliers anyway, just find the cheapest place that you trust. Also if you have comprehensive insurance, its usually covered. Safelite is WAAYY too expensive.

My deductible is $500....I'd rather not notify my insurance company if I can get it replaced for less than $500. They will probably raise my rates even if I just mention it to them w/o filing a claim.

FYI....The best deal I could get was from a junkyard for $400. Sounds a lot better than the 800-1000 quotes I've been getting. It'll cost another $70 for an installer and $70 for the weather stripping.
