if you take it to the dealership they're probably gonna call the glass company to come do it. my friend has an auto glass replacement business and all the local dealerships and body shops get him to do their work. for an 08 f150 i think he charges $225 installed w/o the logo and $325 with the logo.

Word of advise, don't watch them do it. I watched them tear out my 2000 front window for some reason it was hard to watch them turn a small crack into several large ones as they pulled it out

i went with the logo. plus the new window came with the factory tint strip at the top..i think they call it a sun visor and it also came with a molding on the very top that my stock window did not have. i mean i had to pay 250 but i got everything plus 2 upgrades...lol

I'm not 100% certain, but fairly sure that PA law requires your insurance to replace cracked windshields for free. I live just outside of Pittsburgh and have always had cracked windshields replaced with no deductible by my insurance. In fact, just a few months after buying my 2008 F150 it got a crack in the windshield and insurance replaced it (with the F150 logo) without any deductible charge. Over the years (I have lived in PA since 1984) my family (myself and two adult children) have had several windshields replaced under at least 3 different insurance companies and have never paid a deductible.

Well, I guess that I am wrong about it being some sort of law (see the link below). I just know what my experience has been. Sorry.
