Default 993 Windshield Replacement - Bay Area

I've searched the forums for a shop that could do the windshield repair on my 993, and either the posts are super old or no one really recommend one around south bay/peninsula. Does anyone know of a shop in south bay/peninsula that could do the work properly?

My installer retired a few years back so no recs
id talk to one of the Porsche shops like RMG, Don Wise, JWE and see who they use
Ask the installer if they have the 993 templates and if they'll re-install if they get it wrong

I had JWE in Campbell replace mine when a rock hit it, and just recently Matthew Carlson in East Palo Alto, when I had the front nose touched up (to remove the 20 years of road chips dings.) no problems with either,

Any recent recommendations for windshield replacement in Bay Area? RMG doesn't have an in-house person, but recommend Silicon Valley Glass.

Thanks

Like I reported on https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...l#post15986604 I'm reasonably happy with installation done by Triple Ace Glass folks. I bought the glass and seals from Porsche dealer in Livermore myself though.

I had Bodystyle, Cecil Beach do mine a few years ago, but I think they are closed now. Andersen Behl Body Shop in San Jose, Josh is the guy to see there

I had my 964 windshield replaced through Mathews Carlsen in Palo Alto. They have an installer who comes to their shop and does the install. If you find any rust in the windshield channel it can be taken care of there without having to drive the car.
