Called Safelite to get a quote for installing a new front windshield and back glass on my '87.

After a few days going back and forth they couldn't locate the back glass. Turns out it's discontinued and none of their suppliers make it. They tried calling dealerships with no luck either.

So treat your back glass like gold!

Well, found a place that will actually install my stock rear glass. But that said it's likely it could break being as old as it is while they install it. So here's hoping everything goes smoothly.

Andrew,
What brand windshields do they use, and what are their prices like?
Good luck on your glass install.

I believe it was guardian that they use.

Cost for the front windshield installed was $245. Back glass was $150.

They were about $20 cheaper than Safelite.

Does anyone here know if the rear glass from an '81 Malibu 4 door sedan is the same as the rear glass from an '81-'88 Monte Carlo? A friend of mine told me last year that they're the same, and I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm this.

Thanks man! My concern would be getting a quality domestic made product, not some inferior Chinese junk.
I was wondering what Safelite used.
