Hello all:


I am needing to replace the windshield in my '90 Westie.  I have checked
about 10 local glass shops and got parts prices from my VW dealer.


Does anyone have experience replacing them and could give me a few tips?
What brand of glass or does it matter? Does the gasket need to be replaced?
 How much should this cost me?


Is this something a computer technician can figure out?


Thanks in advance for all of the great responses!

Dave,  I'm replacing my second windshield (rock hit center of windshield
hard) this Friday at a local glass shop for $200--tinted--installed. I
don't know about the seal yet, but the last time it was replaced with PPG
glass and the seal was not replaced--no leaks either.
