$190 isn't all that bad. I'd pay it if I couldn't find a better deal. It'sactually pretty goodfor a new glass. I'd put a used glass in mine.

 

Is there a way to tell if its new or old? Is the only way to tell is by the looks of it?

 

I wouldn't worry about it at all. If it is a used glass and has no pecks or chips in it, it is just as good as a new one. Windshield Glass is very hard stuff and it will keep its integrity pretty well (unless it is cracked.)

 

Yeah if it's OEM from Honda it'll have a serial number on it engraved into the glass... Generally the bottom left quarter.

As for used or not, as long as it looks good, no worries.

Removing the original OEM glass from the car is a bitch too, cuz the glue is factory and thin; they generally don't have enough space to get their tools int there to separate without shattering the glass...

I had the rear coupe glass re-seated due to a seal break in the top driver side, and they had shattered it within 10 seconds of attempting to remove it. I saw the whole thing, so I know they weren't man handling it. Also, 190 for that glass isn't bad, the labor alone for my rear windshield was 290, and that's the cheapest in town!! (most averaging about $500). The glass was another $250!!
Luckily I didn't have to pay since the guy I bought my car from covered it under warranty.
