Actually what the original poster stated is correct- the aftermarket windshield is called "original equipment equivalent" if it meets the original equipment standards. There are many that are made in third world countries that may not but most all of the major glass manufacturers would. I live in So. Cal. and just had a new "oee" Safelite windshield installed in my daughter-inlaws 99 RX300 (with lifetime warrantee) for about $210.-- including new rubber surround moulding, including tax. And that was mobile service- they came to the house and did it. I spent over 30 years in body work but am retired and shopped for that on the internet. Hope this helps.
I ran across this post. I know it is old but do you still have the info for the install? I have a crack in mine and would like to get it fixed asap..
