I found a mobile glass place locally that claims they will do a '59 Suburban (spcifically listed on their site) for barely more than buying the windshield at the local parts place. I'll gladly pay the extra $20 to not have to go through that again.

Very large difference in price, it pays to shop around.The installed price almost what I would pay for the windshield . They had a tough time installing the windshield, two men for 2hrs.I gave them a good tip, they earned it. I had a similiar problem with a 54 truck,I broke one windshield , the installer broke one, the third one worked fine. The 58 was much more difficult than the 54. The wrap around corners were a bear. Convinced me to use a installer next time. Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 78 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 78 | The price online (to be confirmed by calling in the appointment) shows as $195. The windshields available locally run about $170-180. Seems like a no-brainer on the surface.

In real life.. It took them over 3 hours until they listened to me and then they had it finished in a half hour. but, JC Taylor was paying for the broken windshield. and they know it all and don't listen to a restorer.
I don't think they will do that again. They had 4 guys working on it. Not one of them have worked on a old car or truck. Go figure
