    I have a small leak above the steering wheel from the windshield
    gasket. I think that I am going to give myself an after Christmas present
    and get a new windshield while we fix that leak.

    What are they running if anyone knows?

    Last one I bought was $110 but that was over 2 years ago and my friend has a glass shop so I get it for cost.

    That's really not that bad if they supply a new gasket and install it too. The gasket is usually about $60-70 so that means they are installing it for around $100 labor. I run a body shop and would not do one for less than that for anyone. It's really a pain in the butt to get it sealed up and they will have to guarantee it not to leak. I think you should jump on that if you really need it.

    My bodyshop buddy installed mine with a new gasket that I bought from
    Autokrafters. I am hoping that I can re-use the old/new gasket. It has
    been on there 3 yrs. now.

    I got a price of $185.00 installed. But, I have the new seal I bought from Autokrafters. I already had the rear window replaced this summer that I got off of Ebay for $25.00 etched. I got the seal from AutoKrafters & the install was $85.00. You just have to shop around.
