Replacement windshields
Has anyone had a windshield replaced? I accidentally clipped the edge of mine while prying cowl off. It’s not noticeable with cowl on and I was debating getting a new one. The internet shows 03-04 is different than 05-09. Wondering if anyone has some info on this. I’d want a real gm one not Chinese. Thanks

The picture I showed of mine with the cowl off - the white where the windshield should be is vinyl. I put that on temporary to keep water/dirt out. Here in SC if you have full coverage a replacement windshield is free. I had a local place come pull the old one then come back after a couple of weeks to put the new one in. I did ask for genuine GM and they were fine with that. I left it out for a couple of weeks since I wanted to redo the headliner and that is easiest to remove through the windshield opening...
Mine was pretty pitted from years of being sandblasted on the road and had a ton of glare from that. Crystal clear now.

"Clipped it"? If less than 1-1/4" repair with Permatex® Windshield Repair Kit

Look at the possible damage a spark plug could do:

New OE glass is still available via GM, whatever years are the same as 2007.
I just had my 07 windshield replaced. Came with new top weatherstrip ( which is falling off, so back to glass shop in the next few says)
