I agree, with one caveat. Some glass companies will not install your glass
unless you release them from any liability should they damage the glass since
they have no way of knowing the quality of the glass that you have purchased.
Or, they will install it, but no guarantee it unless they source the glass.
Helps to have a friend who works at a glass company. The last time I had
glass installed was in my Uncle's 03 MINI. When I asked my friend and his
co-worker if they were going to lunch after they finished they said that they
were at lunch and that if asked, they had never been there!
