FWIW...I had to replace the windsheild in my wifes 1988 80.  SafeLite 
autoglass had the best price at the time, beating the dealer by $400 and 
most other glass places by about $100.

It still cost me $649,  which I felt to be exorbidant.  Fortunately, 
though, I found out that my insurance (USAA) would replace the windsheild 
if there was any defect of greater than 1/4 inch.  All I had to pay was 
the deductable.  

With this in mind I changed my deductable to $100 and waited 2 months 
then had the windsheild done.  I kept the deductible at $100 for a total 
of six months just because I pay my insurance ahead of time in six month chunks.

BTW> the work was done very professionally.  I have no complaints about 
the windsheild which is now 4 years old.

P.S.  When is your birthday?  Mine is also about 3 weeks away...maybe we 
should get together and have Relayer buy us Wings and Beer!
