Windshield Manufacturer & Compatibility Questions

[Estoril]

Given this response, I assume a new windshield seal isn't supplied and installed during the repair, correct?

No - its just that aftermarket seals have a spotty record.

Seems like it's a bag of mixed reviews which is what I gathered when reading about windshield manufacturers on other forums.Thanks for the replies everyone - things to think about and scrutinize.

IMO - Step 1 is contact your insurance and see if you can take it to the dealer. If it's covered, your decision is easy.

Missed the comment earlier - apologies. Have tried this route. Insurance wouldn't cover the dealer's quoted price for the job. IIRC, the dealer was going to outsource it to a glass company, anyway.
