Need a new windshield

I plan on going through insurance (rock chip).


Where have you guys gone? Hamilton area. Apple Autoglass really screwed up my 300ZX.


And no, this chip cannot be filled/epoxied.


I keep putting it off, but I need to get it done.

Are you sure it couldn't be filled? My DD had a toonie sized chip/crack sort of like empty space inside. And Star Auto Glass off of main and Kenilworth by the gas station filled it nicely and it barely shows in sunlight. Not bad instead of replacing. I would recommend them to also replace the glass.

I went to Apple Autoglass in Oakville; they got me a blue tinted one pretty quick. Did a pretty good job too.

They can't get the gold tinted ones anymore

I would be amazed if they could - it's a chip the size of a nickel with a smiley face circle underneath it.

I'll check them out.


Thanks guys.

It might be noticeable to you but it's cheaper than the replacement. No problem. Very quick service as well.

Update:
Just got my FC windshield replaced so I priced FD windshields.
They can get them and install for about 400.
Moldings can be reused if they are adequate or get them yourself from MAZDA as there are no after market moldings for the car.
Speedy Glass in Smiths Falls...tell them Dave with the Rx7's sent ya.
