Hi guys,

today I was replacing my windshield wipers and some how the passenger side arm hit the windshield and cracked the hole thing..
I called my inurance but I have to pay deductible also if they can get aftermarket they will get it not oem, thats what the insurance agent told me,also my S.A told me to be carefull, because they can send the car to the dealer, but they get the bodyshop to do the work and subcontract another company to do it and do aftermarket, my deductible is $750 windshield at dealership is at around $1,100 but I don't fa rm is willing to pay for it using my deductible.
the agent told me to do safelite and the cost is $410 installed..
but next to my bussines is a glass shop so I called them and they can get aftermarket glass for $210 and dealer installation would be $250

what you guys recommend I know getting the oe, but at that price ouch, here in TX we have to pay full deductible, I don't mind but I think its stupid to pay and get aftermarket, what is a good aftermarket brand for bmw winshields? are they good, is it going to mess up my rain sensor, problems with the climate control, etc etc
I have an x5 07 any help please

thanks again
