A year ago I bought a tinted windshield and had it installed for $99 +
tax from Discount Auto Glass, a local company. I took the frame to them,
but it wouldn't be any different if I had driven to their shop. BTW, No
leaks so far.
Check to see if Triumph Auto Glass is in your area, it's a chain that
discounts auto glass and installs it on-site. Their prices are similar
to above.
Anything over $150 installed is excessive IMHO,

Cliff,
I was ready to buy a tinted windscreen from my almost-local Moss
distributor but he no longer carried the Moss supplied glass because he
said the fit was bad and the glass was thinner than original causing
water leaks. This was a recent development since Moss changed suppliers.
Luckily he found me one for less than 200 USD which he said was of the
correct dimensions. When I went to pick it up he also informed me Moss
changed their supplier once again but the price was closer to $250. But
if your local glass company is going to install it for such a low price
maybe it's worth a try if they provide some type of guarantee and will
fix it if it leaks. Btw, the clear glass from the Big 3 doesn't seem to
have an issue. Russ
