Wind shield??

I'm going to have my windshield replaced. 2007 Sport. Planning on having Safelite do it. What do I have to watch out for?
Thanks.

Not much to watch for. I have not have much use for Safelite but they are a national company and will probably do OK for you. I guess when they are done you could try flooding the windshield with a garden hose and look for leaks. Other than that, maybe look to see if they installed the trim correctly. I do not expect that you will have a problem and if you do just take it back to them.

Is your insurance paying for the job. If not, then try to negotiate the price down with them.

Don't hover over the guy. Leave him to do his job, go in and have a cold beverage.

I've gotten several windshields replaced, do yourself a favor, avoid safelite. And do get PPG/PGW or other name brand glass. Those cheap $60 windshields from china don't last!!!
They chip way to easily and crack.
