CO where do i buy a windshield? (other than dealer)

Anyone know where i can get a new windshield for a couple hundred bucks? I called glass america and safelite and both said they couldnt get it. i think mazda wants like 600 bucks.

there should be more places then that I had one replaced for under 300 just a couple yrs ago.
try speedyglass?
or just keep looking for large chains on the internet that are local.

another low cost option can be getting good used glass from a junkyard...? but new glass is allways better less rockchips pitting ect...

I'm surprised Safelite said they couldn't get it. I install for them and I put a windshield in mine less than 2yrs ago. Are you trying to get the glass with the diversity antenna?

Of course I can't find it now and I didn't write it down, but I had an online quote for under $300 installed. I thought my Google search was relatively simple, but I can't find the site again. Maybe they were too cheap and went out of business.

Just remembered Slammedblk7 works at a Safelite warehouse in TX. Hit him up and he can check the inventory nationwide for the windshield.

Rock Auto carries both windshields in stock. The only possible downside is that they have blue tint, so it's not a perfect fix for 10AE guys.

Without antenna (Part# FW00521N) is $127, with antenna (#FW00522N) is $142.
