Most dealerships outsource windshields to aftermarket companies. There are a few with in house techs that do it, but be careful. a good deal of these in house techs do one window every two weeks, and although they are factory trained to do it, they can be far out of practice, and behind the times on modern techniques and what not. Not to say they are all like that, there are some very well trained and skilled glass technicians within the dealerships.

And I hate to say it, but there are a good deal of aftermarket installers that are absolutely useless at even the most basic vehicle and should be nowhere near anything higher end or exotic. Do your research if you are concerned, the windshield is a very important part of a vehicles safety especially in an accident, not to mention the glass in vehicle is more and more becoming a part of the structure. If not done right, there are many problems that can occur, from the very basic leaks, to strange noises, rust and corrosion, delamination of adhesive, not to mention a good few others.

I hope you find a good shop to do the work for you, and if you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Cheers
