on commercial, by the berryessa flea market there are 3 or 4 auto glass shops on that 1/2 mile strech. so it might be a good idea to just drive up it and see what is best.

try safelite autoglass ..i think there is one out there from what it says at my work..i got a discount for mine but i think regular price is still about 130 bucks or so...i just checked it out here is the info give them a call ....they will come out to you if needed aswell..

you can also call one of the customer stores aswell i know we(safelite sells glass cheap)so if ya call a store that gets the glass from us (safelite)it might be cheaper because they get it at cost....

I went to a cheap place in SF, 200 something. They had a few good reviews on Yelp...especially about the prices, so I ended up having them fix up my xB's windshield. Long story short, they didn't use no OEM molds or anything like that - at the top corners on either end of the windshield the rubber molding has a little crease.

Even better, I had a little water leakage into the car shortly after while hosing down the windshield one day. The store had a lifetime warranty on the seal though, so they did something to fix it up.

Lifetime warranty or not, I would go with Safelite or another reputable place the next time around.

they will just try to put more urethane under the glass to seal it ,if it does not work then they will try and take the glass out and re do the urethane ...safelite has oem molding kits just so ya know..most of the time place's use the universal molding.(cheaper)they charge ya for a modling that ya never get,,,

I've used Glass On the Move three times now on three different vehicles. I have never had a problem with them and they are not that expensive. I can't remember how much i paid but you can call them for an estimate. They also come to you so you can have it done while your at work/school or wherever. Good luck getting it fixed.
