Cab Rear Window Help - Sacramento

Ok, I needed a new back window before, but now I really need a new back window: last night after my test drive of , I pulled the car into the garage and dropped to the top to examine my my new reinforcement piece. Well, the top was cold, and it split like a mellon across the bottom

I called one shop that was recommended to me - Highlands Upholstery - he said "The Book" quotes 8 hours of labor (@ $60) and $120 for materials.

So...

Anyone know of a shop in the Sacramento area to do a rear window replacement?

Thanks!

Thom,
Highlands is well known and as far as I know used to do good work. Most if not all shops quote from the same book and unless you have a friend in the business will most likely be very close to each other. I know this from (don't laugh) putting a new top on my daughters 84 dodge 400. I looked around all over town.It cost $900, I paid $300 for the car. BTW the car now sits here at work waiting to be a theme car(any ideas??), or a ranch car, a target for sighting in my rifle, or a Hollywood going over the cliff car or to anyone else with $500.

I called up the insurance company (I got them to pay for a new window as part of the 'audio lightening project' this summer. He got his quote from Award Interiors (916 922 8889) - they quoted me $400 - and his Book said 5 hours instead of 8.
