Default Re: Windshield replacement = what's been your experiences?

This car, as we all know, is in very limited use, and I am afraid qualified repair "persons" for things like the windshield are going to be few and far between.

The very best of luck..

JMHO...First of all, anyone who takes their car to the dealer for windshield replacement is wasting their time. All they will do is farm it out to a glass shop and charge you a higher price, than if you had went straight to a glass shop yourself.

I don't want to start an argument but windshield replacement is not exactly rocket science, and the Crossfire is a relatively easy windshield to replace. As you basically said, the Crossfire is a limited production vehicle, not too many shops have seen or worked on them but if you wait around for a shop that has done one, you'll be waiting a long time. As with other things in life it pays to build a relationships and stay with automotive shops you trust. Once you have, you can rest assured they will continue giving good service no matter what car you are driving. After everything is said and done, the Crossfire is really just another car.
