Windshield done.

OK, since the local and only SAAB Dealer was charging the glass shop "full retail" ($671) for the windshield - I went for aftermarket. Also was hoping aftermarket was a harder glass. The shop used Pilkington Glass. The new windshield had the rain sensor bracket mounted on it. The only markings on the glass are "Pilkinton" and "Solar" (passenger side of glass). None of the symbols are on it like the SAAB glass. Anyway, the shop appears to have done a nice installation job. The color is green like the rest of the glass I don't notice any distortion. Haven't had a lot of opportunity to test the rain sensor but it looks good - no air bubbles. I let the car sit for 3 days after the glass was installed to let the stuff cure (Whatever they use to glue the windshield in?) I do notice driving into the sun a bunch of very fine specks in/on the glass. I'm hoping it's overspray from the body shop but haven't had the chance to investigate this. I know if it's on the glass, I didn't do it since I've only put 25 miles on the car since the glass was replaced.
