Question question for those who had their windshield replaced

Ok, so this might be a trivial/stupid question, but if the dealer replaces your windshield, does the replacement glass have the F-150 logo up next to where the rearview mirror is attached? I know the replacement glass doesn't have the sticker in the lower corner of what factory it was made in, and quite honestly i don't care about that, but I really like the F-150 logo.

You can have it replaced with or without the F-150 logo, you have to specify whether you want it or not..

As TXF150 stated you can specify with or without the logo.I just had mine replaced and got it without the logo.No glass insurance and the cost difference was $140. I figured that since the logo isn't that noticable from the outside, my wallet would prefer the extra cash.

My dad paid $190 without the logo.

Most dealers subcontract the work anyways. Just find a shop that will do it for less

I had mine replaced...got into an accident and I completely forgot about that. I did notice I do have the F150 logo still though...

The shop that fixed my truck were all truck folks...so they took care of it well. I would definately mention you wanted the same one EXACT so there is no confusion. Probably have different part #'s too????

Oem (Carlite and Ford) has the logo, this is the only manufacturer that can use the logo...
Oem aftermarkets (PPG, LOF, ECT, ECT) can't use the logo for copyright reasons....

I guess this is why insurance rates continue to rise. I had mine replaced with Pilkington glass, which doesn't have the logo, and I have been very pleased. The logo is not noticeable from the road and I did not feel the need to request that it be on the replacement glass.

It is one thing to have OEM in a collector car, but it should not be a big deal in a daily driver.

I had mine replaced with a Carlite (with the F150 logo) for $347, installed. Came out real good too.

If you went though you insurance co for replacment, Carlite and Pilkington will be billed at the same price to the insurance co per nags part number...

installing a non logo will save you money on a cash price.... saves insurance co nothing..... you got a lower priced windshield, insurance co paid the same, glass co made more on the install do to lower cost in glass....

I replaced mine by myself with a Carlite, for $185, for the very same reasons. I could have gotten an aftermarket for $145 (glass only) but felt I wanted the quality glass while at the same time not caring if there was a logo or not.
