Well, I have a crack that started out small and with the heat it seems to be slowly growing. It was a tiny little crack where something hit around the wiper area at the bottom of the windshield, now it is about a quarter way up and moving over toward the passenger side.
I am picky and would like to keep replace it with a GENUINE Volvo windshield so I tried to get a replacement from pick n pull, I found two that didn't have any cracks and seemed ok, I removed the stripping and gently tried to loosen it up around the edges where the stick black goop is holding it in with a flat blade screw driver, going further up, gently working it and each one CRAAAACK! I had one loose and one side was about to come out completely, got to the other side and it just put a big crack through the side of the windshield when trying to do the same thing.
What does a Genuine Volvo Windshield cost, is this a $200-$300 or more item? I also got a quote to have it replaced at a glass place (they use PPG Glass) for $165 total installed. Sounds like a good deal . . . . . ?
