I have made a decision to go with a local installer named Normans Glass. They initially quoted me around 770 for the replacement, which used an aftermarket glass. I asked them if they can get an OEM glass. They quoted me 531 + tax for OEM glass. They also called the local acura dealership to verify when they can get the glass from them. So I am certain the glass is OEM since it is coming from the dealership.

The install is scheduled for next Tuesday. I hope everything goes well and Athena is back to her normal self.


make sure they connect everything when they are done. dumbshits who did mine didnt connect the washer tube to the sprayers and did not align the wipers correctly. wasnt hard to fix but i didnt expect to clean up their mess when it was done.

Was taking the rear view mirror off the glass a problem? Did the installers handle this, or did you take it off yourself?

I am going to be watching them closely. I'll have to put some kind of fabric both inside and out, don't want any scratches.

Why did they disconnect the washer tubes from the sprayers? Is that something that has to be done?

^I dont know exactly how they did everything because I was in Europe when the appointment was made. When I got back to the states and drove my car around I realized there were some things that werent quite right. The rear view mirror seems have no problems aside from the fingerprints that were left on the glass. I dont know why the washer hose was disconnected, I think these guys were a bunch of dumb fucks and I'm just waiting for it to rain so it will leak.

I was kind of upset at first, but really, I can't tell a difference at all. The only thing missing is the Honda logo. It has the exact same dot matrix pattern, same headliner tint, everything. Perfect fit.

I'd tell you what brand it was, but there are no markings on it whatsoever that I can see.
I would tell them to put an OEM, They replaced mine with OEM because there was a default in the windshield, in some place you could see a plastic line.

No problem so far

A truck threw a stone up and hit the windshield on my parents nissan and Nationwide replaced the window...no costs ($1200) and no points. Comes along with full coverage. I would check into it.
