I need a new windshield installed in my car. Is there anyone who has a mobile service, and can come to my house?? Any info will be great. | -----------------------Re: Windshield

I use a guy on the way to Cihuatlan (no phone number) but you have to be careful. Windshields are supposed to be double laminate but they have cheaper versions here in Mexico that won't protect you if something hits your windshield. Mobile service, never heard of it here.

Thanks Daniel...not sure that guy in Cihuatlan is open now. Out of business, or vacation, who knows. Guess I'm better off at the dealership? | -----------------------Re: Windshield

You could price it, Don't know if you could order one online and then have it installed? | -----------------------Re: Windshield

... have had 3 windshields replaced here in Mexico... yes the quality varies but I don't think they sell non-safety glass.. Pilkington glass. yes it's a British company big in Mexico and the quality is good. Ask for it... I've had stone hits but only slightly chipped the surface. | -----------------------Re: Windshield

I never really noticed (at least 4 windshields replaced in Mexico) until the most recent break (again caused by a coconut falling) it was plain to see that it was not double laminate but some cheap crap. It doesn't make much difference until something hits your windshield and instead of being stopped is in you face. The quality of that piece of glass is very important. | -----------------------Re: Windshield

I had a new windshield put in when I was last there, a year and a bit ago now. My car insurance company covered the cost, gravel was kicked up on that new highway job outside of town and chipped the glass. I went to a place in Manzanillo, across from the Tuny plant, at the port. An absolute hole in the wall. Well, the first time I had the car washed the windshield leaked, of course. I had a year guarantee but that has now passed as I wasn’t there last winter. I did let the place know before coming back to Canada and now with the pandemic I can only hope they will honour it when I am back down next winter. If not, I will raise bloody murder with the insurance company. It’s Ana Segura. Antonio,hairdresser over in Jaluco, had his replaced in Chihautlan. He can let you know where. The number I have for him is 315-102-2517. If that doesn’t work, Abby at the Gallery will know how to reach him. Good luck. BTW the insurance company was a breeze to deal with. | -----------------------Re: Windshield
