The dealer said to use OEM glass, the sign on my windshield says it is specifically for a HUD, so I asked State Farm about it and they approved the OEM glass. The Chevy dealer had quoted about $1,400 for the replacement (using a third party contractor) so I am sure it cost State Farm less. A local glass company that my agent used regularly with good results did the work. Learned about an interesting new tool the installer used. Said it was his most prized possession. It is a winch like device that mounts in the center of the windshield and using a ratchet the installer pulls a thin stainless wire around the windshield perimeter to break loose the sealant. He said it saves a lot of sore muscles and time and avoids broken windshields. Fun to watch him put it in. Hope you get your situation sorted out. --Bob
