Do yourself a favor and ask your local dealership for a referral.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I am just gonna let it crack and replace it when the crack impairs my vision. Replacement will cost me at least $500 (glass, rain sensor, and moldings) + $100-$200 labor. A dealer here wants to charge me $350 for labor.

Costs the equivalent of $1300 in Bombay!

I had mine replaced for half of what you were quoted. Car windshield got hit with a golf ball while out to lunch.
