Windshield in Massachusetts

Can't help you with your Ferrari glass other than saying few places are going to risk the liability of damaging your car vs. the profit made unless they are experienced in that car. Finding someone who does a lot of exotic car glass installations would be your best bet. Asking high end dealers and restoration shops who does their glass work will probably yield the names of some good installers. Wayne Carini of F-40 Motorsports isn't all that far away and most likely hires his glass work out.

I just had the windshield replaced on my winter driver and the insurance agent pushed me to use one of their "preferred" lowest cost providers (Safelite etc.). My son is in the collision business and through years of experience he has weeded out those type of glass companies and always uses a particular glass guy who has an established quality reputation. I used the same guy to replace my windshield and had used him previously to reseal a leaky rear window on my pickup truck. You also have to worry about the quality of the glass itself. Low cost providers just throw in the cheapest glass, maybe even manufacturer's seconds, and you get a wavy window.

 

I had the glass replaced on my 75 GT4 by RPM in
the Champlain Valley of Vermont.

Sorry to hear about your windshield. I just had film installed on my '85 QV's windshield because I do not want to have this happen to me! My installer used STEK DYNOflex, which is apparently a fairly new film: https://www.stek-usa.com/windshield-film

I was afraid that it would impact the optical qualities of the windshield, like other films I have tried, but I cannot tell it is there. Very happy with it in that regard. It hasn't taken a rock yet, thankfully, but it's a nice thick film so I believe it will protect as planned. Was about $600 installed.
