A rock hit me on IH 10 outside Houston two weeks ago and I now have a crack that has crawled across the street side windshield. Where is the best place to get new glass? Curved Glass Dist doesn't list Eagle windows on their website, but I have not called them, however.

Jefferson has it for $230. I'm trying to arrange a pickup with sister inlaw in Ok City next week; otherwise, freight is $200.

Re: model 10 windshield
Bought the windshield and gasket. Gasket and lock ring was $120. Ouch! Brother inlaw picked it up on his way through OK city and window is now in Pampa TX. I'll pick it up when we head up to see inlaws later.

Re: model 10 windshield
I have needed to replace one of my windshields from day one. I had heard the gasket was expensive and had thought that the "raw" gasket material could be purchased for "pennies on the dollar". For example see the attached PDF of an Ebay vendor ad.
This seller has several different styles of gasket material and a person would have to do some measuring to make sure they got the correct gasket. The splice could be at the bottom of the windshield and made with windshield urethane based sealer/"glue".
After looking at the prices, it might just be easier to bite the bullet like you did and get the proper "fitted" gasket.
