[QUOTE="MDJAK, post: 1490222, member: 31917"] When we were on our way back to NY from Moab this past August, my windshield met a small rock. The rock was so funny, my windshield almost cracked up. In stead, it was a small hole that I was concerned would turn into a big crack. We were in whatever midwestern state at the time about to go for dinner and to a motel. I found a local glass shop on the web. It was after hours. Guy was home and answered the phone. Told me to come by in the a.m. and he'd take care of it. Safelite would have charged $75. He charged me $25. But I gotta say, his repair was not the quality I'm used to at Safelite when it comes to filling holes. They use some type of heat or infrared light and it just comes out better. I was still thankful he fixed it however. And don't get me wrong, I'm in no way extolling the virtues of Safelite. Just happens the one near me has pretty steady long term employees who happen to love my truck. The manager has been there for a long time, very hard working, busy buy, constantly on phone with insurance companies, etc. He fought both times to get me OEM windshield. They then take truck out with some equipment to be sure the cameras, etc are aligned. Pretty easy on the Raptor. Much more entailed on my former 911 and other vehicles however. [/QUOTE]
