Replaced mine with a non OEM Safelite $190. Mine is a 2009 and didn't come with the fancy decals. Looked functioned just as well as the OEM, and even cracked like the OEM when it caught a rock. If you want the decals, they can easily be found on Amazon for $10-$20 and ask the folks at Safelite to put them on for you, if it's too challenging of a job for you to put them on yourself. Or you can have Safelite install the OEM windshield for you, with the decals for $400. You do the math.

The Safelite install comes with a life-time guarantee. Any whistles or any other problems, just take it back to them and they'll take care of the problem. They do good work, so you likely won't have to take it back but you're guaranteed if you do.

Just had my 2008 Windshield replaced. Went with the Safelite version. OEM would have cost over $400 and insurance paid for it. So free is always the best option.

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the input.
Luckily my break runs from top to bottom, almost directly in the center behind my mirror. It doesn't effect my view so i'm not in a huge hurry to replace but it bugs the crap out of me just knowing it's broken.
Being in the first stage of my Mods, I just cant make myself get it fixed right now. Too many $s needed other places.
I will keep this info in mind.
Thanks again.

How much are you paying for the additional comprehensive coverage on your insurance every 6 months?
