I did a preliminary search on here but did not find anything specific. For those of you that had the misfortune of having to replace their windshield, did it require recalibration at the dealership? I checked with Safelite, but they said it may require dealership recalibration. Has anyone had an independent glass shop successfully replace your windshield?

Safelite recalibrates; they did my Grand Cherokee a few days ago.

They're quoting the Z for in-shop replacement at $452, which includes recalibration.

Promo code WEBSL45 for a $45 discount.

It does and an independent shop recalibrated my Z.

Id be concerned they're doing a bait and switch price at this low. Like "after insurance" as the cheapest I was able to find after 10 quotes was $900, no insurance claim.

It's a legit pay out of pocket quote. Exactly what I did with our Wrangler and Grand Cherokee this month. You pre-pay online and that's it. Use promo codes, shopping portals, etc. for additional discounts and/or cash back.

On both mine this month I was able to use the $45 promo code, 10% cash back credit card deals, and bonus United Airlines miles.

The Wrangler came to around $300 and Grand Cherokee about $800. The Grand Cherokee is quite a bit more due to all the sensors/cameras, acoustic glass, HUD coating, etc.

Iowa FTW? Both my quotes were lower here than they were in Houston before moving.
