Does anyone know any places (that will do a good job) to install the front windscreen and rear window for the 2nd gen? There was a place local to me but they've moved and i can't remember their name. Any idea how much i should be paying for such a service? I have the glass already, and i'm debating whether or not to ask them to install the trim around the window, it's more a case of making sure the glass is glued on well and positioned correctly.

Cheers!

I's walk into my local Autoglass type place, and ask the oldest looking guy there what he'd want to do it cash as weekend job.. I think I paid about £50 when my dash was repaired, bodywork guy just asked someone he knew

I used National Windscreens. East European lad turned up, really keen and just happened he'd recently done a local Transam. Ok, he didn't really know what he was doing, but he had all the right tools with him and between us we did it with reference to the GM body manual. He knocked some money off too - cost me about £50 for both front and back glass.

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies!

The place near me was quoting about £150, so good thing they moved ;)

I'll ask for a quote from the ones mentioned here and see what we can rustle up, £50 would be great to get it sorted! Quite a relief to hopefully be paying a 1/3 less than budgeted :)
