My front windshield is cracked on 2017 Toyota RAV4 LE. I do not have comprehensive insurance to cover glass, since it's "middle aged" with a lot of miles on it.

I checked for the part number on Toyota Parts website and it appears to be multiple options for windshield on the same VIN. Local Houston dealership wants ~$2,000 for OEM replacement, install, callibration but doesn't even do it on themselves and uses an unnamed third-party company. They also refuse to give me the right part number based on VIN. Kind of shady.

I called a lot of independent shops and they seem to be pushing to do aftermarket with Fuyao or Pittsburgh Glass, which appears to be Chinese-made glass and assembled in the US.

I’m concerned about calibration & safety later on being a problem with aftermarket - but I'm not sure if it's a dealer scare tactic when I asked them about aftermarket.

What should I do? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
