Bronco Windshield repair

[Pmoney17]

Hello guys my full size bronco has a crack in the windshield. I have two options

1: get it done by a big company: probably $1k plus

2: have my cousin do it for cheap (he’s replaced countless windshields of mine and windows and the work was a 10/10)

The reason I’m questioning my cousin is because doesn’t the newer broncos have like a calibration or something that needs to be done as well and bunch more stuff that only big companies can do? My cousin kinda just does this in his backyard

My cousin has done my impalas and Buicks and other older cheaper cars. I’ve never had him do a expensive nice car

Yes, your Bronco windshield has to have calibration programming done to make sure all the electronic safety nannies work properly. I have to get mine done in the near future and called around. The quoted price for all was $1,500.00 CDN so your $1000.00 USD guess is probably about right.

Had my windshield replaced last year for $700 at my local Ford dealership, OEM glass. Ford doesn’t do the replacement but they have “their” glass guy come in a couple times a week. Very satisfied with their workmanship. Plus I got Ford points!

See 700 isn’t crazy I would do that

Be careful with who you allow to calibrate. Safelite screwed up my wife’s Acura badly, the insurance company paid the $1000 bill Acura charged to fix Safelite’s work then charged it back to Safelite who tried charging it back to me because we didn’t give them a 2nd chance to correct their initial screw up.

That’s why I went with Ford. Their glass guy installed the windshield then Ford did the calibrations.

Okay so maybe I let my glass guy do it then let ford do the calibrations? Only reason I ask is because my glass guy is family so he would give me a insane deal lol

I'd suggest next time getting comp-insurance that covers the OEM glass.

Broncos seem to be magnets for stones; You can find many individuals that have had 3 front windows replaced. Myself @ 18K = 2. My daughter @ 45k = 3... on the freeways in CA.

I don't see why not but I would call the dealer first. As far as the glass place doing it after the fact, I couldn't see it, especially with US liability risks.
