Windshield cost
I just had to replace my windshield!!!! i was shocked by the price i had to pay!!!! I took quotes from 3 places here in Toronto Canada and was amazed at the price gap between the regular Camry and the Hybrid. For the reg Camry i was quoted the lowest $475 to the highest $625. Here we go for the Hybrid i was quoted $925 lowest to $1400 highest. When i asked why the big diference from reg Camry to Hybrid i was told that the Hybrid has a sound dampening windshield and that the mirror has a special conx on the windshield???Any way i had to get it fixed and paid $975 and they came to my house and installed it. I asked if the windshield comes with a gold rim but was told sorry sir the new toyota,s are all rimless.

My numbers to follow will be in US dollars. I assume you were giving Canadian & I'm not sure of the exchange rate.
Anyway, about 8 months ago I had to replace my 07TCH windshield. The dealer wanter $1200 for the glass, $50 to install. I called around to glass shops, making sure they were qoting the special Hybrid glass, and was quoted $425 to $525.

Re: Windshield cost
Just called GEICO.
Windshields are covered under Comprehensive.
I was paying $33.30/six months for a $1,000 deductible.
I just lowered my deductible to $200 for an extra $8/six months.
This thread scared me into it.

Re: Windshield cost
In AZ I have no deductible for windshields...actually, it is called "safety glass" that has no deductible. I think it is required here in AZ that the insurance companies provide this coverage, but not sure.

Re: Windshield cost
Just recently asked my dealer here in Calgary, Canada about the cost of replacing my windshield and was quoted "about" $675.
I thought that was expensive but compared to others here it appears to be quite reasonable.

Re: Windshield cost
Yup. Which is why I cannot understand why Canadian prices are still up to 50% higher than American for the same product.
