New windshield question

Hi everyone,

Have a bad crack on my windshield and needs to be replaced. OEM dealer wants $2500 plus labor (Canadian price).

Car has HUD. Has anyone found a cheaper alternative that works and is 100% structurally sound?

Any insights are appreciated

And just like that I appreciate having windshield insurance

Sorry to hear! Good luck finding a cheaper option.

Wow, that's a steep increase...

I paid 1,800$ CDN 1.5 years ago at BMW... It's badly cracked again since a while but that kind of money for a windshield is just so ridiculous, insurance or not.

Don't forget to tell your insurance as it should be covered minus your deductible

Yes - it will be OEM as I am on lease and it must be. Will be done through dealer, although not something my warranty covers apparently which is why I'm going through insurance
