I believe they unstick the one on the bad windshield and use it for the new one....

For the Turbo, it's $400 installed. Guess I thought it would be more....

CaptPegLeg is infamous around these parts

I took a hit from a stone on the way home from buying ours. I had the glass guy try to repair it but it didn't work. He replaced the glass and reused the sensor. It didn't work right and he ended up replacing the sensor. Now it works great. I paid a $50 deductible. Claiming it on your insurance should have no affect on you policy. If you have glass coverage, use it.
The sensor was about $350, I think. I have heard of others reusing the sensor with no problem.
