oldtinter Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 That's what the guys use by me TTS...Only Essex urethene, and primers, and only Pilkington, PPg, and OEM stuff. These guys are good, I've been around alot of glass shops and seen the nightmares firsthand. Just like anything else, you want cheap, you get crap. Simple enough.

Guest thetintshop Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 that's a pretty good "friend" price. I just went and looked those up. the NAGS list is like $740. I have a customer that has a town & country (the same thing as yours). she broke hers like 4 times in one year. that was a couple years ago. back then, the NAGS list on that heated windshield was over $2000. shows you how much the tiawanese guys are bringing our market down.

These guys are good, I've been around alot of glass shops and seen the nightmares firsthand. Just like anything else, you want cheap, you get crap. Simple enough. all the good glass places I know use essex. and Pilkington or PPG (or oem) is the only glasses I would ever put in my own cars. but those of us that use those kind of products are growing smaller everyday. alot of shops are now carrying the cheap crap so they can get some work. 3 years ago, you could drive within 20 minutes of my shop and find 4 glass shops offering Pilkington glass. now I'm the only one in a hours drive. all the rest offer fung yang group, or fuyao, or northstar. and all of them are WAYYYY cheaper than I am. needless to say, 90% of the glass I do is insurance work.

I use gas to remove it from everything. except my clothes. if it gets on my clothes, they're just ruined. trying to clean them just makes the spot bigger.
