Been looking to buy a windshield online tonite..I'll give the installation a try. Most prices seem to be in the $275 area. Found one place online that sells them for $185...but I need that confirmed, sounds low.
Anyone bought one? Got a good source or did you use local suppliers?
Thanks,
Keith

I did find a windshield for $185 at ChevyChevy.com. I think the shipping cost was about the same.
Looks like they get about $200 to install RAK. Buying local and installing yourself looks like the cheapest way out...Just not sure if I can get the knack of that cord trick.
Thanks,
