Default front glass fix on gs430

hey guys,

anyone in socal know of any reputable yet affordable places to fix the front glass? i've had the crack for months and i'm finally getting around to fixing it. i talked to a couple of ppl and they said it will run around $400-500 because of the rain sensor attached to the glass. any help would be great, thanks.

Isaac

btw, anyone know someone who can write off fix-it tickets as well?

What, you have rain sensors? So the wipers automatically go on?

an oem goes almost $1G installed. I got mine for free(oem too). in FL your insurance covers windshield 100%.

and no 2nd gen GS has rain sensing wipers.
