Title: MC9 Windshield for 183.09
Post by: bowmaga on April 17, 2008, 01:17:48 PM
I can get a new windshield to replace my cracked windshield for 183.09 from MCI in Loundonville, Ohio.  Is this a good price, anyone know where i can get one cheaper?  Seal kit is 78.75, and i have a windshield repair service committed to replacing it for $106.75.

I found a place in Canada, but the shipping was more than the windshield.

You can try these folks if you'd like. The coach co. I worked for used to buy glass from them.
I am not affiliated with them at all.  http://www.curvedglassdist.com/

That is the MCI list price for each side.  Shipping is the killer.  Looks like a good price for the installation labor.  Just make sure they cover full replacement cost if they break it putting it in.

I order all my parts from MCI via their online store.  They have never charged me shipping on even a $3 body part, but I have never purchased anything that required freight shipment.  (MCI sells the parts for Dinas.)

Money to be saved at this point probably not worth your time to keep looking.

Other potential deal is a coach company running their last MC9's, or lately gone, may have stock and want to be rid of it.

No shipping, and they know how to do the job right there.

Windshields are relatively cheap for buses, they are always getting stone chips in commercial service, lots of volume. You'll have seen MCI sells them by the case load.

happy coaching!

MCi never use to charge for shipping windows.
