Windshield Replacement

[Gilligan]

Who is the best around the Lex Park-Hollywood-L'town area for replacing windshields these days? Wife's Rav4 just took a hit from a stone off a damned dump truck traveling the opposite direction on 249. ;-(

I had a mobile truck come to the house, they did a pretty good job. Not sure of the name... Glassman?

I used them once a while back I think....works out of a garage on Buck Hewitt road?

Not sure where they were based. I called them on a recommendation from this forum.

Here's one thread:

Auto Glass Place

I need some help. The rear window of our car shattered and has a big hole in it. We think there was a shortage in the rear defroster. Anyway we only have liability on the car so the insurance won't pay for it. Where is the cheapest place for me to get it fixed? I will call around for some...

Local Business - GlassmanBDR

I bought our 2013 F150 slighty used, and when we had it for about a month I noticed damage that was concealed by the prior owner (not the dealership) to the back window. Defroster didn't work from day one, and later on it started to leak. Finally I decided to replace it and called for...

Yep... Waiting to see if insurance co has anything to say who does the replacement.

Heck..maybe I'll try and do it myself here at the shop. First I'll take an 8# sledge and break out the old winder...

I've used Safelite 3 times, twice mobile(came to my office in lex park) and once in their shop. Been happy with them.

My deductible was more than the cost of the windscreen, so I just paid for the new one.

Took them two times to bring the right one.

I've used SafeLite and Glass Works of Maryland. No complaints about either.

I've either used A&M glass in Great Mills or Banner glass in Suitland .

Update: A&M said they can't replace her windshield but since the hit has not spidered out very far, they are going to stabilize it with that special clear glue. Cheap experiment.....probably still end up getting it replaced at some point.

I've seen this work on some recent chips/cracks. I tried one of the "kits" to fix a crack in a Beetle I was trying to get through inspection and it did the trick, but the chip was old and had collected some organic matter. I could see it, because I knew it was there, but it wasn't really a bad job.

? Why not? Seems kind of odd...

BDR Glassman off of Buck Hewitt. He has replaced several windshields for us with great results.

Wife 2015 Cherokee was the same way. Lasted an extra year that way. When it did finally go, Safelite came to the house and did it, including the calibration of the sensors. Jeep doesnt offer the original "easter egg" windshield, but the replacement did have an updated version.

Glad it worked out for you .
