My windshield cracked the other day. I think it was from snow/ice sitting on the edge near the A-pillar because I don't see any chips in the glass. Anyhow, my insurnace company (The Hartford aka The Ripoff) says I would have to pay my $500 deductible, so I am trying to do this out of pocket. I was all set to go the Safelite way until I read some of the posts insisting on only OEM glass. I have rain sensing wipers and was quoted $378 for their glass. Still waiting on the quote with OEM glass.

Safelite says their glass is inspected x amount of times and that it comes with a lifetime guarantee. I mentioned that some people have had issues with aftermarket glass being wavey and the rep told me if anything looked off, they would replace it for free. I guess I am just making sure that the OEM glass is still worth it. I don't mind buying OEM parts at all, but until I saw this thread I was thinking it is just glass, right? Has anyone gone the aftermarket glass route with Safelite and been happy with the results?

Weasel, I was planning on replacing the top windshield cover as it has cracked over time, but is there anything else I should buy to have on hand when the come to install the windshield I end up buying?
