Whatever she does, make sure she does NOT let the installer use one of those piano wire with a wench thingy to remove the old glass. It most likely will catch the dash cover under the front of the windshield and damage it. The dash cover is PERMANENTLY attached to the dash and it will require the entire dash to be replaced.
Don't ask me how I know.

BTW my replacement was about $1000 charged to the insurance but really only costs about $500. They gave me the real invoice by mistake.
Call the dealer and ask who they recommend. Stay away from large chain windshield glass stores. YMMV.
