    no that's no deductable. That's walk into the KW dealer hand them $58.88 and walk out with a window. They only charged $100 to put in in. So total bill was $158.88 for a windshield installed in an '06 W900L. Took about 20min and they even washed it. LOL

    I paid $140 installed from two Russians working the TA parking lot in Troutdale LOL. So far its the best windshield I have ever owned. Windshield wipers contour to it very well. Took them less than half an hour start to finish to install it.

    Excellent reminder Kansas! Also good to kick the ice balls off the landing gear. They usually contain rocks and debris and when they fall off and break at 65mph its like a grenade going off!

    I know, that's what I'm saying. Why would people want to payy a higher premium when teh costs to raplce are so cheap?? $100.00 for 20 minutes however equates to $300.00 an hour. Probably took a little longer then that.

    after I re-read your post I figured out what you meant. They just flat rated the labor. It took him no time to put it in, he said trucks like the T2000 and others like it the windows are glued in and takes forever to replace. They said a lot of guys replace them every year just because they get so pitted.
