Default 2001 996 Windshield replacement

Can anyone advise on a replacement front windshield cost and company in the Litchfield, North Fairfield County Connecticut area (Kent, New Milford, Sherman) for a 2001 996?

Dealing with this now. Specify you want oem glass. My windshield has the antenna in it and the safelite version does not have this.

Just had Safelite do mine. They use Pinkerton glass and it has the antenna. Biggest issue was getting BOTH correct seals from the dealer, once they had that, they did a great job. All covered by insurance so no idea of price.

Had mine done a few months ago. Factory glass and new seal. Insurance cost through safelite was a tad over 900.00. No cost to me.

Had mine done by a highly rated local indie glass shop when I first got it. Didn't know any better. Cost me $380 and I haven't had a bit of trouble with it.
