Whats up Mid-Atlantic peeps?!

Im looking for a glass shop to install my c/f hatch. I've heard of a few good reliable places like Safelite Glass, but I wanted to see if anyone in the area has any recommendations or have had previous experiences with a shop that does this sort of work.

Please let me know!!

Thanks in advance!

you got the freakin hatch?!

 

rich, just make sure they do a good job sealing it to the fiberglass, because the sealant they use is designed for sealing glass to metal, not glass to fiberglass. so make sure they know that, and tell em' to seal it good. this is the only thing thats holding me back from getting a cf hatch

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that wherever I end up going for the install.

 

not a problem

 

im in de and looking for the same thing. im just gonna buy a new piece of glass so i can just swap them if iwant. safelite up here told me 200 to swap them

 

thats strange. i stopped by safelite yesterday, and they said they wouldn't swap the trunks because they dont work with fiberglass. i didnt have my car with me at the time, so it made it harder to explain.

 

well rich i also just got my C/F hatch also, i found a place in old town alexandria (name unknown, but i will get it tomorow) but they are doing mines for cheap, like 80 or so bucks to take the old glass and place it on the new one. question, rich how did u get all the wires that come through, to connect to the left side like they did on stock, aslo are you or did u make holes to re-install the interior panels, if so i might need ur help. cuz they didnt cut all the holes out on the side

 

go to the safelite in sterling/herndon and stop searching around. they did a great job on mine for $100 with no warrenty cause its not oem but they got it done quick and did good work.

 

i havent done the swap yet. i am contacting ptuning this morning to see if they can do the swap, and then i'll just have to take the glass to a shop to get that installed.

 

did they do it the same day, or did you schedule an appointment?

 

mine is gettin done right now while iam in school, mines only costing round 80 to 90 bucks but now i still have to worry bout puttin all the panels back on, viet, do yall have the wire clips that wrap around the hatch wires and hook into the hatch.


oh yea viet wuts going on at lustine are there gonna be a job openings soon
