HELP: Front windshield install service in Boston MA?

Car is a 1984 carrera.

I got 90% of the way through my dash replacement...windshield out, old dash removed, new dash in, new OE porsche gasket, trim seated all the way around...

Pushed the windshield in and crrrrrACK! I think this was the original windshield so I knew it was risky at best, and it was pitted, so there's the silver lining.

Anyway I don't have time to try the process again and I really would like to avoid generic glass guys. This windshield had been out and in before and the previous guy used 10 tubes of silicone which was really fun to remove.

Anyone have a recommendation for a glass installer in Boston, MA (actually 10 miles west of boston)?

The weather's too nice not to be driving this car...

Thanks
Rich

Well, for future pelicans who search...

I bought a new OE gasket and trim which I supplied to the installer. His name was Neil from JN Phillips auto glass.

Anyone in eastern MA should request this guy. He knew exactly what he was doing -- rope, no sealant, trim, etc -- and he does all of the windshields for the speed shop around the corner from me, 80% of which are porsches of some variety. Windshield was popped in, cleaned, all stickers and rearview mirror swapped over in less than an hour, and the bill was less than $300 (gasket was about $150 tho). Highly recommended.
