e30 windshield replacement - I just got jobbed

[nando]

I'd rather have a good condition OEM one even if it costs more.

And OP, why whine here? Go to the place and complain. Don't ask for a discount, say you paid for American glass and that's the only thing you'll be happy with. Make them make it right.

I got PPG from Giant Glass for a hundred bucks...took like 15 minutes to install it and a can of silicone spray

This but I used dish soap. Couldnt believe half the prices I was quoted for new glass then even more amazed at why used glass was going for locally...then google answered with the local ppg distributor - $110 after tax. Win.

? Off-brand glass happens to be a pet peeve of mine. I'm sure that almost no one thinks the same way, but whatever.

Same here.

What you should have asked for was translucent aluminum.

Oh they haven't invented that yet?

I sure do love 20 years of rock chips and pitting over a crystal clear new piece of glass.

this might sound stupid, but what is the difference between (u.s.) and (chinese) glass??????????

I don't really think I would want the U.S. glass either, what makes it better? sand from death valley?

like stated before, its not a bonded windshield, so what's the fuss? does it fit odd?

I agree but not in relation to the windscreen.


It is a little annoying that one of my door windows is made by Sigla, the other by Sicursiv and then the two rear quarter windows are Delodur. In relation to the windscreen, I would always rather a new one. Wouldn't matter if it's American, Australian, Chinese or European. New glass is new glass.

the chinese glass typically fits poorly (too small) and has optical issues
