I got a quote for $247 + tax for a new windshield installed into my 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis LS.
Sounds like a cool deal to me.

That may not be too bad here in ohio I was getting quotes from $300-$500 on my 95 caddilac eldorado just to pull out the windshield and replace the leaky weather stripping another couple hundred if I wanted new glass I went the easy way out with hardware stored silicone epoxy but luckily that junker spun a main bearing got scrapped and landed me my 88 MGM thed love of my life lolComment

That's the low end of what I'd expect to pay. These are BIG windsheilds and I doubt they still make new ones.

That's not too bad. In Indiana, some wrecking yards wanted $75US just to obtain a good windshield, and you're on your own for installation. One place wanted just $50, but he didn't have any good ones. My mom got all excited once and called a couple of body shops without my knowing about it, and was told about $200US installed as of about 2005.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

the one for the 93 was $190... but then I opted for the PGW instead of the XYG. Carlite would have been about $250 here.

That was the 93. No clue about the boxes. Definitely aeros and whales though.
