glass is a hard business, and they are pricey most of the time...it really depends on the specific model of vehicle, usually foreign glasses aren't that expensive, at least not on average...but then again the better the vehicle the more options the wins hied has attached means more $$$...

now round about prices my book says that a 2 door 91 civic should go for $280'ish in your area, 4 door is $275...thats without install obviously, and with that you need a urethane kit which you shouldn't give more than $25 for no matter what they tell you, plus $45-72 per hour on glass labor, and its an hour or less job in most cases....

but keep in mind glass is unregulated and competitive, prices may change...

as always, make sure who ever does the work, removes the old urethane before putting on new, otherwise you may have a surprise one day going down the road...

do you not have free glass replacement through your insurance company?

My 350z windshield was ~$220...they wanted an extra hundred for the stupid blue tint at the top but I just paid $50 for a tint shop to do the whole windshield later

piano wire, a junk yard, another person or two, some sealant, and ~100 bucks should be all you need. I've helped my dad install a few windshields. Not very hard at all.

install is easy, its taking the old one out without craking it through the center that is an issue. a second person is a must for removal, unless you are very careful.

I used to install autoglass. And off the top of my head i say a 91 civic shouldnt run more than 200$$ to install. And you could used junkyard glass. But chances are there will be nicks and road grime. plus you still have to install it.

Oh and you should NEVER have to pay more than 160 to have any truck windshield installed. They cost the installer like 35-40$$ for the glass and 5 for the sealant.

Just had a new windshield put in my truck (99 ram) and the total price was $215 and they just came and put it in when I was at work.

Don't know if the price for a ram helps you but may give you a ballpark figure
