Glass shops do not do body work. For real fun, many body shops make you
pay a glass shop to remove and re-install glass. If you have a visible
rust spot with the glass and gasket in place, be prepared when the glass
is removed. Get the brazing rod and bondo ready. Also, get new gaskets.

Subject: Windshield

Anybody out there put in a windshield? I need to replace mine and I
have a tiny rust spot and I'm trying to decide whether to do it
myself or have someone do it. Will a glass shop repair that rust spot
properly? I've put in side windows...is it MUCH harder or just
bigger? Can anyone recommend a shop in the Bay Area?
