Subject: Re: replacing windshield


The message <ExIb2.1778$JP3.9583nopsamoon01.swbell.net> from <wolfiesnopsamell.net> contains these words: > Is it worth spending twice as much (about $475US vs $240US) for Saab glass > instead of just generic glass to replace the windshield on a 1996 900S? The > Saab service manager says that Saab glass is built for safety (crumple zones, > etc) and generic isn't. The manager of a glass replacement shop says that's not > correct, but he'll do Saab glass for twice as much if I want it. Who's right? > Or, if Saab glass is safer, do you think it's worth it? > Hank Auto manufacturers buy in generic components like starters, alternators etc. The leather seats in my 82 900T were made in Scotland. I just checked the glass on mine and I know it says Saab on it but I doubt that Saab has a glass plant to make these, as its too much of a capital investment when a factory down the road makes glass for all the other car plants.
