Re: Anyone had to have a windshield replaced in the Seattle area?

Just my .02 cents ....... been down this road so I speak with a little experience, but when mine was replaced (by Toyota because they cracked it) I was told by more than one service mgr that when replacing the windshield it is paramount for a proper seal to also replace the upper molding & that it is virtually impossible to remove the windshield without damaging the upper molding due to the amount of sealant and plastic unremovable clips.
This being said, I might be a little suspicious of a quote that states "and moldings if required". Besides if they don't need to use the upper molding, which is not cheap, why would the cost be the same with it or without it? $704 is relatively cheap compared to any other w/s replacement I've heard of for the FJ.
Just food for thought. And I wish you luck whichever way you go.

When the shop called to confirm my appointment the person I spoke with said that they had ordered BOTH the molding and the glass from the dealer and that both pieces were in stock. The quote was from the confirmation email sent to me because I set up my appointment with their national replacement 800#. I will be there the whole time on Friday and will ask a few questions before they touch it as well. I'll let everyone know how it goes!
