You lost me there, bro... What are you trying to say?

Please beware of Safelite. I got my shattered windshield replaced by them. They cut my dash, left broken glass pieces in the interior, left blood (from the installer) in the interior and didn't attach the whole left side molding to the new windshield. Watch them like a hawk while they're doing the install to make sure it is done right! I dropped my car off and came back. Big mistake!

What I'm saying is that Lexus glass > Toyota glass > everyone else.

If I'm paying upwards of $50K for a car, yes I believe 100% the parts they used to build the car are better than a car that retails for $0-49K. The "L" in mind has value. They have proven that time and time again.

I fail to understand why he bought a Lexus if he just thinks it's a POS.

I got he new PBG glass put in and they did a fine job. Was able to access the dash noise while they had the window out also. I can not believe the did not address this or the engine bay noises when I took it in twice for the noise TSB.

Very happy with the glass so far.
