Rapid has a lifetime warranty on "workmanship", ie leaks, as long as you still own the car =D

Wow, forgot about this thread. I ended up going to Broco in Coquitlam. Awesome service. Detailed the entire car. The car looked newer than the day I drove it off the dealership. Seats were still kind of wet, but they put plastic on it. Everything was put back to normal. Cables and wires for radar detector (hard wired) Compustar transmitter, microphone for stereo, bluetooth, etc. Broco, FTW!

I'll toss in an echo that Broco in Coq is good. My family has used them a few times. In Langley, I've used Apple Auto Glass (200 and 64) a few times, and I've been satisfied with the service.

Get those dings fixed ASAP! Unless you have more pits in your windshield than a large golf ball, where it might be worth replacing the windshield, fixing dings are cheaper than the $200 windshield deductible! I've learned my costly lesson

I went to Broco in Burnaby to get my windshield replaced. Everything went fine and the staff were friendly and I picked up the car after work yesterday. BUT today I noticed the windshield looks really wavy! If I drive and look at the car next to the car in front of me, the straight lines (i.e. trunk edge) would not be straight and is sort of wavy.

Is it due to the cheaper than OE glass they use? It's PGW glass which should be OEM quality. I didn't have this problem with my previous windshield. I am going to go back and see what they say tomorrow and hopefully it will be resolved. If not what else can I do? This is an ICBC claim.

Thanks. I will drop by at lunch today and ask for Paul.

Update: Went there at lunch and Paul took care of everything. Going to order a new one for me and replace it next week. Top notch customer service!

Either you had a replacement part policy, windshield was N/A aftermarket or the OEM glass is cheaper than aftermarket (yes this happens all the time)
They will not use OEM glass on everyones car so don't go there thinking you will get OEM everytime because this is wrong.
I would stay away from Speedy from personal experiences. From what other people have said i would goto broco.

I have a mobile glass guy who comes to my shop on a regular basis (for windshields) he is almost always cheaper then the icbc deductible and always uses OEM replacements or equivalents. Call or PM me if you want me to arrange a quote.

Anyone know where I can get a chip fixed and about how much it would cost?

It is smaller than the size of a quarter.
