I have a huge crack in my 2024 Land Cruiser windshield. Called all the local auto glass shops (and my dealer), and they all told me no ETA on when a replacement windshield may become available. Super frustrating. Anything I can do on my end to expedite this? Thank you!
Windshield Replacement Backordered Indefinitely

My windshield was replaced today by my local glass shop. It took them a few weeks to get parts but it got done. Incident on Aug 30. Contacted shop a week later, it took them a bit to sort out part numbers etc so they didn't order until mid Sept. Parts came in yesterday and were installed today. So it's not really so bad.
Any idea what a new windshield will cost? A friend of mine got a bad ding and was told a windshield would be $3k. That seems very high . . . but what do I know?
The total cost for mine was about $1,500 CDN paid by insurance (installed, less deductible of course)

I have one on order from the dealership and it was a little over $1k. $3k is seriously overpriced!
May I ask what parts (other than gasket and glass) were needed? Anything that it would be worth holding on to spare? The FJ had a trim piece running along the top edge the clips for which would often break during removal. One road trip I took a good sized rock right at eye-level. The glass guy lied to me and told me the trim came off intact when really he broke the clips and then glued it down with silicone. A few months later the damn thing blew of driving 80 into a cross wind through Kansas. I finally figured out to keep a couple of spares with me.
Honestly I walked away without any paperwork because they said that I would get it in email which hasn't arrived (yet?) so I don't know for sure. They previously mentioned a moulding being on back order but I don't know if that was just the gasket or an additional part.
Hi, did you have to get the moldings replaced as well?
