Did my 93 for $155

I drove around for a long time with a crack at the base (I suspect the use of the defroster when the windshield was very iced over, but can't say for sure that's the factor that caused it). Kept putting off replacement because all the places around Long Island wanted $350 for more for the job, and there was something about the trim costing $110.
Come inspection time, I found a place in Queens that did the job for $155, while I watched. Glass was new and looked the same as the original.
The place definitely wasn't as reputable looking as a regular glass place by any means, sorta like a shanty town setup with leaky roof, but I've had no leaks, whistles, pops, creaks or groans so far about it-
They did use a different surround than the original metal trim, though; it was a wide molded rubber piece. Seals and sits flush, so if it's looks and works just as well as the metal.
From the pricing I was getting from all the other places, I would have been happy just getting the glass for $155, much less installed. I normally prefer to do everything myself where possible, but in this case, didn't-
