Windshield replacement

I had mine replaced last year. The windshield costs about $1000 at the dealership, plus about $150 for the install. You can file an insurance claim for the replacement, and that way you would only be liable for your deductible. The nice thing about this car is that there are no aftermarket windshields made for it, so the insurance company has to use a factory one and there is no surcharge to you for not using the cheaper version.

FWIW I had my windshield replaced last year and insurance covered the total cost for an OEM windshield. The issue I ran into it that the newer windshields was not tinted and the car was getting hot inside so I had LLumar AIR 80 clear tint installed and it reduced the heat being radiated through the glass. It cost me $150 and is worth every penny for me and is inadvisable to look through

I didn't know that Jaguar even had a tinted windshield (screen ?). Of course, it didn't matter in my case as mine was a CPO, with a clear windshield. I had a 3-M product installed, clear -- dropped the pain level immensely. Still bright sun, but a lot less heat and UV.

Recently having had a cracked windshield too, I must say: beware! there ARE aftermarket windshields!!!
My insurance went for this seemingly cheaper option. BUT that aftermarket windshield was about 1cm too narrow. It did fit so poorly, it was replaced at no cost with an OEM windshield. Did have to wait some days for the exchange because the glass glue needs to harden first to facilitate removal.
All windshields were heated versions.
