Windshield replacement cost for 02 996
Mine is pretty scratched and appears to be original with about 79K miles. I was going to replace it (I do this every several years on my BMWs) but they quoted over $800 for it. I typically pay $300-325 for a BMW windshield, even those with rain sensing wipers.
Is this normal for a Porsche windshield?

I recently called my insurance company to see about replacing mine as I get a free one once a year. I wanted OEM and they quoted me a $300.00 difference that I had to make up between aftermarket and OEM. $800.00 outright may be close to reality.

I was told that all windshields for the 996 come from the dealer, therefor even the indy's have to buy them from Porsche which is why they are so expensive.
$800+ is what I paid last year.

Are you sure your insurance company doesn't offer free windshield replacement? Check your policy. State Farm and Farmers do. If so, grab your baseball bat...then file your claim!

I took my chance in a bad part of town in an industrial area, a small auto glass shop with no sign. $135 cash only, no tax, no receipt, installed in my Lexus SUV. Rain sensing and wiper defrost pads. Great job while I waited, a bit scary though.

Agree. I'd love to see a full webpage with them all so I can choose my own each visit. (BTW, I'm a BSEE from UF and my wife also graduated from there so we're fellow Gators)
Sketchy...and I haven't gotten my CHC permit yet, so no thanks
