        Hey gmyers395:

        1) Is $220 still the price for E36 M3 windshield replacement?

        2) How much extra to do the work in Greeley?

        3) What would the price be if you used OEM Glass? (the non-OE glass on my M3 is distorted at the right edge and I want to avoid that)

        4) I read that there are important differences in the OE install kit and something about letting the adhesive cure overnight, etc . . . what method do you use?

        Thank you.

          Gavin swapped the glass between my E30s this past Saturday and I can vouch for his quality work.

            Sounds like someone put a cheap piece of glass in your car which is likely because the quality of glass varies greatly. Safelite makes a lot of their own glass and they make it as cheap as possible. I was looking and I cant even get oem glass from my supplier for the e36 m3 but in all my time doing glass i have only had problems with one windshield not fitting correctly. I use ppg glass so their name is pretty reputable. Whenever i do a windshield I pre fit the glass to make sure its going to sit correctly and if it doesn't I don't install that glass, so I can guarantee that the glass wont be distorted or shaped wrong at any corners. It is also possible that they installed the wrong glass because the coupe and sedan windshields are different. The urethane that we use sits up really quickly so you can drive the car as soon as I am finished with it. But for the urethane to completely cure all the way through its takes a couple days. I always let customers drive their car immediately after and have never had a problem. At the moment I wont do mobile windshield replacement because there is lots of equipment involved and I currently don't have the means of transportation to bring an air compressor, generator and whatever else I would need. I would prefer that you bring the windshield to me and I could give you a discounted rate. PM me if you have more questions and let me know year and sedan or coupe. Also if it has a green or blue shade band across the top as they all affect the price.

                    I do plan to eventually but i have to get a vehicle than can transport all of the necessary equipment. I may just get a small trailer and pull it with my car :) E30 windshields i can do mobile right now because it only takes a handful of tools.

                      If you have plans to be in Boulder again, I need some chip repairs to my Spec race car window. Drop me an email, since I don't check my inbox here much.
