Look in the yellow pages and call a bunch of window companies askin there price. I have heard of all kinds of pricing. Some make me laugh real good. For my FC cheapest quote was $150 flat. I have no clue what a FD window cost so good luck.

I wouldn't expect to pay more then $175 from a quality installer. I use a guy at Safelite who is very good. I watched him pull 2 windshields from FC's on a 55 degree fall evening in my driveway, and swap them into 2 other cars. FelixIsGod29X can testify....that ain't easy.

seems like its the cost is too high for the front windshield for the FD, quote info attached:
SAFELITE
Your Quote edit
Quote: $262.95 *(includes labor, before tax and service fee(s))
*Your vehicle may require the installation of molding and accessories at an additional cost of: $96.95. The technician will provide you with a final cost at the time of service.

so the total may come out at almost 4 bills if i needed to get my moldings + accessories replaced.. ouch
