well, FYI the rear quarter windows are around $900. One AM I went out and my pass rear 1/4 widnow was shattered, but the inside tint kept it mostly together, enough for me to tape it before Elite replaced it.

 

My dealer (Atlanta Mini) told me $1100 dollars to replace the windshield and good old Farmers makes me pay my $240 deductible and they want you to go through Safelite Solutions. Not sure if it is required to do so. I haven't got mine fixed yet.

 

Uh huh, and my dealer told me my tires were $450 each too. But I could buy them for about half that anywhere else. What the dealer quotes is for suckers only.

 

for warranty work and recalls. Other than that, go elsewhere....

After paying the $500 and taking the advise of everyone here, I contacted my State Farn agent and added $0 deductible on comrehensive on all my vehicles!

 

Our local independent Mini repair shop, Steves Auto Clinic has a guy that comes out and does a really nice install for under $ 300 as I recall. I've had 2 in 7 years .

$768 for a Mini windshield might seem a bit high...till you get a call from your buddy who was just doing a swap out of a rear view mirror on his Elise, and cracks the windscreen........

Blackwatch Micro Rear View Mirror - $75.00
Windshield from Lotus Dealership - $2550.00
Watching a grown man cry like a little girl - PRICELESS

(Note to self......don't do your own dental work, engine rebuild, or attempt to replace the rear view mirror!)

And just so you don't think me heartless, I cried along with him, bought him a beer, and won't post the photo's......LOL

 

WOW that is really high for the glass dealer glass at any PPG dealer should have been $299.96. My dad owns a glass business. The rear quarter panel is the most expensive at 464.59.

Good job with lowering your comp to $0!

 

SO EASY A CAVEMAN COULD DO IT

 

At $768, I guess was being patriotic and helping with the economic stimulus! No one said the economic stimuls was economical.
