    Angry Broken VW windshield - Good replacement shops?

    I had to have the Miata windsheild replaced a few years ago and also had to get a rock chip fixed in the MPV. Both times I used this guy.

    Hey Bean, dont skimp. I have the cheapest windshield in my car now. I hate it. It never seems to be clear. I dont know if it is pitted, or what but it sucks. It isnt opaque, but my oem never looked like this. Oh and I was thinking Titus too, its big news to hear he isnt involved.

    Are you gonna need to borrow the VAG cable to replace that?

    Looks kinda out of date, but you never know... Shoot him an e-mail and see if he can do what you wanted.
