Are you finding it difficult to get a good price on your F250 Super Duty windshield replacement? You are not the only one. Most people are unaware that there are options. Yes, there are options that will work and save you money. Most 2003 to 2007 Ford F250 Super Duty windshields have “SUPER DUTY” on the windshield above the rear view mirror. This is also called the third visor. This logo on the windshield can only be purchased from “Carlight”. Carlight makes auto glass for Ford. So if you want the “Super Duty” logo, Ford is making money off you. The part number for the logoed windshield is DW1522. The retail price for this windshield is $ 505.15 based on the Nags price on Jan 10, 2011.

Now what most auto glass stores won’t tell you or may not know about, there are two other options for replacing your F250 Super Duty windshield. The first option is an aftermarket windshield with a non-Super Duty third visor over the rear view mirror. The nice thing about this windshield is that it still has a sunshade over the rear view mirror, making it easier to see the rear view mirror. The part number for this windshield is DW1537. The retail price for this windshield is $ 224.50 based on the Nags price on Jan 10, 2011.

You want to keep the “Carlight” automatic glass for your F250 Heavy Duty, but you want to save money. Watch this. Ford has a windshield without a trunk or third visor. The part number is DW1505. This windshield can be ordered with a blue tint on top. This will replace the third visor and save you money. The retail price for this windshield is $ 227.40 based on the Nags price on Jan 10, 2011. That represents a savings of $ 277.75 if you use part number DW1505 instead of DW1522.

Always take the time to call. Not all stores offer the same service and take shortcuts to save time and money for themselves. Ask how long the replacement will take. If they tell you 15 or 20 minutes, they are most likely taking shortcuts that will cost you more money in the future. To properly replace your windshield, you need to remove the windshield wipers and the hood under the windshield. All of this takes time, but ensures you will not leak water or air.
