I just called and haggled with the salesman a little but he didn't want to come down much.. I'm not stupid, and I know that by muting the phone for 15-20 seconds he wasn't really calling my local shop to find out if they had any in-house specials on glass. LOL! He said $210 plus $13 in fees. $223 for one of the smallest flattest windshields I've ever seen just seems too high to me since you've had them done for less than $160 on a Honda Civic.

Well, I hung up on the guy mid sentence. He was getting too pushy about setting up an appointment and I at least want to do a little "window shopping" before setting up an appointment. Everyone on the Jeep forum thought $200+ for a Jeep windshield was outrageous, and many of those guys go through several windshields every year after hitting tree's and what not on the trail. I'm not saying I'm not considering Safelite still, but I wasn't really happy that he basically was willing to knock $8 off of his original quote. Their online quote was less than $210.00.

I use Best Auto Glass. Its a husband/wife operation that work out of their van. No over head, they come to you and do the install. They've put 4 windshields in for me. 2 at my work and I've left a check in the seat for the other 2 at my house.

I just shopped around as I have to get a new windshield for the 240. Safelite, Danny's, and Doctor Glass were all 290+tax. Glass America is 200 bucks installed and they use ppg windshields. SOLD

So everyone in my house has a stomach virus, and I'm the only one without it. My strategy is to kill any foreign shit in my blood with alcohol. Right now. Posts in an hour might seem cocky and make zero sense, but I;'m creepy like that, so fuck it.

Danny's gave me an instant online quote of $190, and I have yet to speak to anyone, but I think that's what I'm going to go with.
