Being a perfectionist, and the original owner of a 1985 Scirrocco, I thought it might be a good time to replace my windshield. It's not too bad, only a 6" crack at lower passenger corner and 19 years and 180K miles of use. But, I thought I would do this while a new windshield is (hopefully) still available. I hope that someone can help me with a few questions:
Safelite is trying to find a new windshied for me without the tint strip: Should I try somewhere else for better quality and/or supply?
Is it glue in? If so, should I take it to shop rather than have the mobile guy do it? Also, should I buy a new windshied gasket at $210 from the dealer?
Should I leave well enough alone?? This car has never been in a body shop and I don't want to cause new problems trying to fix a minor defect. >Of course my wife would say sell the **** thing :).
