Pete,
Here's what to do for any automotive glass needs.

Pick up the yellow pages and locate probalbly a bunch of local listings
for automotive glass supplier's.

It's a real competitive business, and not only can you shop number's but
theywill come to your locationand install the windsheild for the price
of the glass.
Where the Van is sitting.
They will come to you.

The most I have ever paid for a winsheild installed is $150.00 for PPG
or LOF with a heavy tint.

And as long as your having the glass replaced it might be a good time to
R&R that old, hardened winsheild rubber moulding.
You buy the rubber, the glazer will replace it with the glass for not
one dime more.

And for that price why even hassle with installing it yourself.

follow-on question for stan w.:
stan, you suggested canvassing glass distributors for leftover inventory
they may want to unload. any knowledge of what price to offer them? i
guess the max-min might be new street price - used street price?? with
your "old distributor inventory" item priced somewhere in between?
i'm up in the salty northeast (land of pitted windshields) and will need
to replace mine soon as well. currently have no knowledge of windshield
pricing? any assistance is welcomed.
TIA, pete
