99 Southwind windshield = cost to replace?

Well, I would like to change out the windshield. In Canada, I guess its not that simple. The ONLY glass shop (chain) that can/will change it quoted me $4400.00 per side! So my question is are they that much or close in price in the US? Its a 2 piece windshield on a 1999 Southwind 35S.
Maybe my next trip south will get them done?!

I had one side replaced in Quartzsite for $800.00 US this past winter. Don't pay that price...its ridiculous.

My insurance company replaced both of mine. I paid my deductible and then got a rebate from the glass co. It was ~2800 for both. Let that cold North wind take the Southwind Southward..

so

Very big crack on the passenger side. And the drivers side has had about 10 stone chips repaired and is also getting quite sandblasted too. I thought if they weren't too expensive I would replace both but now I think I will wait untill I head south again.
