That is good information for people in your area.  Had a similar issue once a while ago.

I am happy that you finally found somebody! I had recommended earlier in the post to use a local glass company rather then the chain companies. Did you find that Danny's had employees that have been with them for a long time? Even better was it a family run business? When it comes to corvettes it hard to find anybody to work on them from paint jobs to changing windshields. There is a 99% chance that windshield is going to get broken removing or installing. The glass techs really need to be experienced to work on a corvette. The other reason most don't want to do the windshield is usually the clips break removing moldings. Then it turns into a more labor intensive job. I recommend to everybody that has to replace a windshield is to have replacement clips on hand.
