I brought my car in today to have the cracked windshield replaced, on the way there my tire monitor goes off, how convenient, because it turns out I had a nail in the tire, so my tire warranty covers that one for me but what a major PIA to have to deal with my insurance on the windshield, long story short, in order to have Rasmussen replace it for me, I had to get a quote from a glass company off of the approved insurance glass repair list and then I get to pay the price difference based on the dealership being more money...oh well. I'm out about 50 buck on this one, but I would rather have the dealer do it for me.

 

I've got news for you...the dealer probably won't be replacing your windshield. They more than likely farm the work out to a local glass company. If the dealer is having it done for you, make sure the replacement glass is OEM (does it say MINI?).

 

I've also had Rasmussen replace the windshield on an '04 MCS I owned...and yes, it was OEM. Rasmussen (or whomever it was) did a great job.

 

Yes, well I have news for you, the dealership did replace the windshield, they have an inhouse glass guy.
