My windshield on my S2000 is cracked, I have full glass coverage with no deductible. What's a good glass company that I should take my car in to have the windshield replaced? I want something stronger then the stock windshield that chips too easy.

Any recommendations? What should I ask for? Is there a preferred type of glass?

i was wondering the same thing.

Go to a high end body shop and ask them to replace the glass. They will take the time to remove all the old silicone, felt spacing, and they will not put deep scratches in the paint under the windshield, which if left untreated, will rust. They are not on a time schedule like the chain auto glass guys.

Honda or PPG. Make sure they replace it to OEM specs.

Pellis, when you say OEM specs do you mean the shape/thickness, or the exact replacement?

My glass is pretty much junk after 29000 miles, and I'd rather not have replacing the windshield be part of my 30k service interval.

I agree. I have been told to find a PPG replacement.

Here's a hint: have them test-fit the mirror on the new glass BEFORE removing the glass from your car. I've been driving the last 1500 miles with a barely-attached, (duct tape sometimes) mirror because the "OEM windshield" they installed won't hold the mirror.

oem glass is a must especially on the doors. Someone broke into my car via driver door glass after the dude hit the glass it didnt fall apart becuse i have them tinted so the dude grabs the edge of the glass on the top and pulled it out. well he stole my wallet that was in the glove a nice one at that from rome. well i put in an aftermarket glass and it leaked and on the highway lots of air leakage very noisy wind noise. so i replaced it with the honda glass and all went away. stick with oem fits much better. the driver door especially because our S is frame less the slightess difference in the curvature means trouble.
