Replacement windshields

[Pat Korach]

 The good ones  meet  OEM specs and are slightly thicker than the cheap
one which
only the federal standards.  When a rock hits the OEM ones they tend to
survive better
then the thinner ones..  I've seen the cheapies on sale for a $150 which
did not include installation and the trim.  The OEM ones are over twice
that price and list somewhere around $700.
