This past weekend while in AZ a tiny little pebble **** my windshield and put a small chip in it. This small chip made it the entire straight drive back to Los Angeles almost without growing. The following morning after driving to work on twisty Sunset Blvd the tiny pit grew to a tiny pit and very long crack. So i am now at the point where my windshield has to be replaced. Realizing htat a stealership would be insainly expensive i chose to call just for a price check and was quoted about $1150 for the glass and $250 for labor. I then called a window repair company that i was referred to and was quoted $445 including labor if i pay cash. Supposedly the windhsield is identical to the OEM with the exception of the fact that it does not say Lexus in the bottom corner.
now to the point of my post...Assuming that the windshield is infact the same, is there anything i should look for when having it replaced?

I dont have the Lux or ML package so i dont believe so...not to mention that the wipers have never automatically started the few times the car has been exposed to rain.Leaving rain sensors out of the picture...i should be fine with the aftermarket glass, right?

but is thethickness of the glass the same? you might not want to get a cheap windshield knowing that the quality is far less than Lexus glass..
that might affect the cabin noise/wind noise maybe?

thanks, I will be checking this prior to installation. the guy is coming to me and said i can inspect the glass prior to install. i am going to be verifying the numbers in the bottom corner of the windshield to ensure that they match up.
