Crappy phone book, doesn't have a listing for the number.
Heres another option, diamond 607-732-1675
safelite 800-800-2727
garrity in waverly 565-4531
last option pick a part 607-739-3851
good luck, I paid $150 for mine, that was installed though

call an insurance company and they'll let you know who they get...OR who is the cheapest in your area! just don't tell them you're not a customer of theirs.

They did mine, the windshield was a defect. Basically the asa line was lower than they usually are. No other blemishes besides that.

$150? Wow. The lowest I was quoted was $218 from Safelite. Who did the install? Local place?

http://www.safelite.com/ will give you a quote over the net.
http://www.89glass.com/ may try them as well.

Yes, but they used a generic molding. Doesn't look as good as oem, but for the price, I couldn't go wrong

I'd recommend replacing it with OEM Honda glass. I replaced the glass on my CRX and the first rock to hit it cracked it. I was pretty upset. Aftermarket glass is lousy.

never had that problem.
But after I had to pay for a windshield, I got glass coverage. Let the rocks fly, $0 deductable for $1 a month. Best insurance investment I have ever made

I had mine replaced no problem. They just squirted the black stuff around the bead and dropped the window in, then put trim around the outside. Pretty cool. Looks great and is sealed. Just call a glass company. BTW, done in Chula Vista outside of a Junk yard cost: 90.00. Well worth the $.
