When I got mine replaced last week. I phoned the dealer on Monday and ordered the windshield from CA (I'm in CO) and it took 2 days to get in. It took me more time to schedule the installation!!! For some reason LR Flatirons won't make an appointment over the phone and I ended up doing it through their web form. Grr.

Took 3 weeks but got it replaced.

I'm also here in CO and LR Flatirons is close to my place. I have had three windshields replaced thru Insurance @ their shop.

the glass company the previous two owners of LR Flatirons used (and I use) is Apex Autoglass and it's who I contact to arrange a replacement thru my insurance company. Apex was doing all windshield installs for flatirons vehicles and I presume that has not changed under new dealer ownership. If memory serves Apex contact State Farm on my behalf and arrange to complete the work at the dealership. The insured work includes recalibration of the windshield mounted sensors if required.

In my case it takes a little more coordination as the dealer has to remove and reinstall the raised air intake. However, both the glass work and RAI labour are covered under my State Farm plan. Zero deductible as we have their glass coverage for all vehicles which costing about $35/year.
