I know it sounds crazy, but in an attempt to reduce our insurance costs when we added our teenage son to the policy, I increased our deductibles to $1000. So you can imagine I was kicking myself when my windshield cracked (I won't go into detail on how that happened ). I called the dealer and they quoted $1660! My hubby called the other dealer and they gave him the name of the group that they outsource their windshield replacements to. We called them and found out their price is $345!! I had it replaced this morning. They did manage to save my condensation sensor as well as the rain sensor. I won't be able to test them until tomorrow. And they did use OEM glass.
I'm so thankful we discovered this alternative

I have USAA and sent me to S.A.G. too have my windscreen replaced. I asked the installer and USAA about that quality. The S.A.G. WAS NOT OEM, but was better quality. It has a higher grade glass based on some factors... thicker glass, metal tinting, something like that. It was last year some time. At any rate, don't stress it.
