Chevy Malibu Windshield Replacement Cost.

The average price to replace a windshield in your Chevrolet Malibu (2005 – 2011) is between $300 and $500. The glass on the Chevy Malibu is curved around the edges of the vehicle, requiring special care when removing it. This makes replacing a windshield more complex than other cars, which is one reason the Chevy Malibu windshield replacement cost is higher than most other cars.

The insurance companies will usually add to the cost by adding a $90 fee for driving around with a broken windshield (in most states). Add it all up, and you have between $400 and $600 in total costs. The good news is that auto glass installers, who typically use PPG or Pilkington glass, will normally install a high-quality OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) windshield in your Chevy Malibu for under $500.

If you have comprehensive insurance which covers glass damage, then the deductible is often only $100 or $200 for the replacement. In some cases, the technician will waive all or part of the deductible, which can make it cost even less.

As with everything else in life, you get what you pay for. If the insurance company quotes you a price of $500 to replace your windshield, then take it as a good sign because it means they are paying at least $430 for an OEM high-quality glass.

Don’t be surprised if the installer charges you an additional $50 or more to cover his costs and profit for the extra time it takes to install a curved glass windshield in your Chevy Malibu. As with most things, there is no free lunch – but based on our experience – any price over $600 is too high.

History of the Chevy Malibu

The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-sized car produced by Chevrolet from 1964 to 1985. The nameplate was revived in 2005 for a line of sedans introduced as an offspring of the original Malibu Classic luxury sedan. It was retired again after one year, with its slot being filled by the Cobalt.

Another version, called the G5, was produced in Brazil. The Malibu nameplate has also been used on the following vehicles:

1964–1972 Chevrolet Malibu: a midsized car

1985–1988 Chevrolet Malibu: a mid-sized vehicle offered as an option package for the Monte Carlo and Caprice. Only two engine sizes were available in this car.

1964–1966 Malibu: a hybrid vehicle assembled by Isuzu as part of GM’s co-build program

2005–2007 Chevrolet Malibu Classic: an upscale mid-sized car.

2008–2009 Chevrolet Malibu: a vehicle based on the Epsilon platform that replaced the Cobalt sedan and was positioned as a sales leader for its size in the mid-size segment.

2012–present Chevrolet Cruze: a rebadged version of the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia for Canada and North America. It is sold as an alternative to the Mexican-built Chevy Malibu.
