Hello, I have a 1978 Buick Regal whose windshield recently suffered serious damage. It was near a car that was arsoned, and the heat combined possibly with getting splashed by a fire hose cracked it up pretty bad, although oddly enough only on the outer layer of glass. At any rate, it needs replacing.
Are used windshields a good way to go? I'd rather save some dough, especially on an ancient beater like this one, but a friend of mine had a used one installed and it cracked on him. Was this a fluke, or are used windshields a risky way to go?
a used plus $70-100 or so for install.
