Re: Just bought a 95 YJ, how much is a windshield

Tell me about it, got a new one in the Cherokee and it got a silver
dollar sized smash with cracks on the first trip with it a week later.
The 'fix it' place did their magic on that mash star and it has held for
6 years or so. Meanwhile the other small dings have ------ so we need a
new one. Got a new Jeep instead to put on the road.

Re: Just bought a 95 YJ, how much is a windshield

----, 3 different places quoted me $200-$225.
That is CDN funds equal to about $180-$200 USD so it is higher than I
thought. Seems high for a small pc of flat glass. A massive curved w/s for
my wife's minivan cost her only $230 ! It's almost as if it is $200 or
thereabouts regardless of the windshield !
P.S. I am originally from Texas :-)

How far are you to the States? Might find a shop just across the
border and make a little vacation out of it.

Probably most of that price is tax. :( VAT, etc. I've got relatives
up in Calgary and the tax rate is .. well.. high.

from chryslerpartsdirect.com
(they might ship, I dunno what the customs would be though)

Tinted 87-95 MSRP $247.50 CPD $193.05
That means that the front glass from 87 to 95 will fit.

Just keep calling every auto glass place in the book.
