The windshield on my festiva has a vertical crack from top to bottom and i was wondering about how much a junk yard would charge for one. Im just looking for a general idea so i know what to expect to pay when i go for one. Thanks.

What to expect is not being able to find one.... I have been to 4 jys and if they have one, it is also cracked... Good luck on your quest...The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!

The going rate for good j/y windshields around here seems to be in the 70-75 dollar range. No idea what removal/ installation costs are. My last one cost me 70 bucks, but the installation was free. Well, sort of, basically I installed the guy's Dish Network for him (had all the tools, and Comcast generously 'donated' the cable and fittings) and in return, he swapped out my windshield.
Estimates I got from glass shops before he did mine were in the 200-250 range. That's if they got the glass, and did the swap.

At any pick a part it is 29.95 i believe......and you don't have to pay up front. I've been meaning to call bob's autoglass and get a price through what 43 auto salvage gets them for, I used to be able to get them for 55 new.Last edited by festivaWES; 10-07-2009, 05:49 PM.---------------------------------------------------

FYI, I paid $170 a year ago for a new one installed in Columbus. I didn't think that was a bad deal. But if you can do it yourself it's sweeter and cheaper I suppose!

glass shop
Mine had a crack in it. I just went to a glass shop and he had a genuine PPG festiva glass for cheap. He just wanted to get rid of it. $40. So, I obliged him. He gave me the urethane and primer too! Just phone around.Comment
