all. Alas, I need a new windshield (somebody kicked up something on the freeway, and in just a few days a small ding well away from my sightlines has expanded by more than six inches in each of several different directions). The dealer quoted me $1300 just for the windshield (!), plus a couple hundred more for the install. But I can get the whole thing done privately for around $400 -- if the installer can use a 2010-2012 basic Prius windshield. Does anyone have any idea whether I can do that? Or is there something unique about the PIP windshield? Obviously I need to get this handled fairly promptly; the cracks have spread so far so fast I'm afraid it's just not safe to put off fixing it for weeks and weeks. Thanks very much in advance. Regards, Jerry
I can see no difference between my 2005 or the PIP, but I should think that windshield repair shops should be able to provide good information. I had quotes of $250 to $300 on my 05. Call around more.
Did you check with your insurance, For me I have 50$ decuctible for windshield fix at no additional cost.
