Alot of body shops have people who can repair glass, replacing glass on an 87 rx8 might be expensive… It really depends on how big the crack is ---

Safelite did my Jetta windshield. Twice. My fault once. I found out when I slammed the trunk on a 8’ pvc pipe that a Jetta is 7’ 11" long. 🤣 Second time rock chip. They’ll come to where you are, do it while you work. I think it was like $100, but I don’t remember because my insurance picked up the tab. ---

Glass America on Union/Whirle. They use a much higher quality glass that Safelite. Safelite makes their own glass and it is not as well made as the big brands. ---

Safelite put a windshield in the saturn a few years back, I think it is made in china. The glass is not as good as OEM, but they did a real nice job, no leaks anything. If you call them, lowball the piss out of them, there is a ton of markup on glass and they will honor other shops prices. If you just have a chip/crack then buy the fix-a-windshield kit at walmart for 10 bucks. Works IDENTICAL to what safelite gets 100 bucks to do. I just fixed a chip in my girlfriends windshield, it looks 99 percent perfect. ---
