Windshield cost

[IdahoKidd]

I live in a one horse town and the horse isn't much more than a shetland pony. I am in need of a windshield on my 280z and was quoted $320 plus a gasket. The gasket was going to be $130. I know I can get a gasket cheaper-what is the going rate for a new windshield installed these days?

Thanks,

Leonard

I was quoted $300 for the glass, $150 for shipping, and "about" $100 to install. They didn't mention any gasket or rubber, so I hope they weren't thinking of using all glue & filler!

When I had my car painted last year, I only paid $380 total for a new windshield, labor for the front, and to re-install the existing rear glass. I supplied the gaskets. I seem to recall that the glass itself was less than $200.

I paid just over $230, installed. I supplied the gasket.

Thanks guys. The shop will sell me the glass outright for $220 with no installation. I guess it is about right. Didn't want to get robbed.
