Replacement Windshield

[halfelite]

So as I was driving to work today a rock flew up and cracked the windshield beyond just getting it filled in. I went through the safelite website to get a quote and it listed two types of replacement for OEM They are

 

Windshield solar, soundproofing green tint

Windshield rain sensor, solar, soundproofing green tint

 

I dont have auto wipers so I know I dont need the rain sensor one. But the mention of green tint seems off as I never noticed a green tint to the front windshield. Does this sound correct.

I think it is the very nearly completely invisible UV blocking film that is applied. If those are the only two options then green it is.

For some reason or another I was able to get some windshield warranty. Might check your sales documents to see if you got something like that as well. All chips and even a conpletely blown windshield would be replaced free.

 

Had two chips filled in already, thank you ever growing Harris county roadways.

There is a very slight green tint. Put a piece of bright white paper against the glass from the inside and you will see the tint from the outside.

Did you ask your dealer about a ford windshield?

 

I checked into it even tho I didnt need one and its only like $25 more to have the dealer do it with one that says ford on the glass.

I have not yet I will do that. as safelite was like 425$ shocked me my old subaru was only like 215$ The rock hit in the sunshade part behind the mirror so i was not to worried about it but its already spread outside that area so will be getting it fixed in the next week.

MSRP on the ford windsheild is $322 if I remember right. So the dealer prob pays around $260 than labor.
