How does the "BMW method" differ from any reputable windshield repair company?
I have a really hard time paying as much as they want at the dealer for this service. My windshield cracked last year and I opted to have Safelite fill the crack because the crack was smaller than a dollar bill. I am very glad I went this route because less than one week later I was hit by another rock which cracked the windshield again. I would have been irate if I came out of pocket for this service at the dealer and it went to hell a week later. My insurance does not cover windshield repair.
I say as long as the aftermarket companies can give you a good peice of glass without any waves, they install it cleanly and the rain sensing wipers work fine, then who cares? Especially if you have to come out of pocket personally for it.
