I am having a new windshield installed tomorrow and the place doing it has never done a Crossfire before.
They have done a lot of imports and high end cars and have a high quality reputation but any advice I can offer them would be greatly appreciated from the members here.

Any problems with removing and replacing the surrounding trim ?
Do you know what holds the trim on and how they removed it ?
And how was the rear view mirror attached to the glass ?
Mine is electronic auto dimming so I'm concerned about this as well.

Sorry for all the questions but I'm concerned a bit as you may guess.

Valk, maybe you posted it elsewhere and I missed it. But, what happened to your windshied? Bad rock chip/crack?

 

No I didn't post the incident but it was a stone into the glass while doing 80 mph going to the Dragon.
No crack but a thumbnail size chip in the line of vision while driving.

 

Here are some pics.....

 

Had mine replaced last summer by Martin Glass Co here in Belleville, IL

Had the glass in stock, no install porblems, took 2 hours

Cost $360.00

Had my daughters window replaced just before she got it. The only issue I would be concerned with is taking off the silver windshield molding. Have to be careful with the clips holding them secure. Most are rivited except for one for the side pieces and two on the top. They should have the proper tools to remove the molding.

The rearview mirror should not be a problem. That's the easy part. Super glue!

I had my windshield trim replaced today due to oxidation (warranty), the guy said it was real easy to replace, so I would think these guys should have no problems.

 

I am waiting 6 months now for the clips that hold the window trim on.
It is louse & the dealer says the clips are on back order.

 

looks like a bullet hole!

You'll want a Pilkington DW1540 Windshield.

 

I had mine replace in fairview Heights IL on L. trail it was $129. at safe Glass with a life time .!

It took 1 hr.

 

Thanks for the responses here folks.
I am happy to say that the new windshield was installed with no issues at all.
The windshield I have now has a stamp on it with the Chrysler emblem and says "Safeguard"
right below it and is right above where the VIN # is displayed on the dash
I had a place named Leiva Glass in Schaumburg,Ill do the work.
They were recommended to me by my State Farm agent who knows me pretty well.
They had only done one other Crossfire before a long time ago.
They allowed me to watch the entire process in there shop and they even took photos for me which I will be posting as soon as I get them by email.
They took great care in every step and demonstrated there experience in doing this sort of work.

As for the final cost ??
I have a zero (0) deductible with State Farm for comp claims so my cost was $0

yes,, Gary saved my vert from a rock chip, he took in the glass for me.....

 

Did I mention Doc has an unusual sense of humor lol

 

same experience... they changed my windshield, in my work parking lot, in about an hour. no problems, no drama.

 

I had mine replaced. No real issues, but my trim going across the roofline has since flown off the car serveral times at the track (at high speeds) and ruined the paint. It's just not as tight a fit as before I guess.

 

What he said. I think you had better just pull yours off before hitting the staging lane.
