This glass thing is a real issue, it's getting hard to find people that want to do the work and do it correctly. I have been dealing with this issue recently myself.

It's not MD, but I used Windshield City in Chantilly VA after a rock cracked my windshield. They did a great job on my 997 and are apparently who Porsche of Tysons outsources to.

They use an independent contractor... probably the same guy as Europros.

Did you get your windshield issue squared away? I use one tech exclusively at the shop I work at. Reliable, only installs factory glass and zero comebacks.

Ah, no understatement there Dandelion. I am one of at least six cars looking for windshield replacements.
