Fair labor cost to replace 337 windshield?

I've heard changing the front window on a P-model is an order of magnitude more expensive. For some reason $27k comes to mind. Maybe that's what Cessna wanted to do it? Mine is in good shape, but I'd hate to have a bird strike or some other incident befall my nice front windshield.

On the side windows, an easy option is to replace the inners with green tint. Did that. Great Lakes had the window channel too.

Great Lakes (and others?) sell the rubber liner that goes around inner window.
You want the slot in the liner to be slightly offset from center.
This keeps the two layers of plexi farther apart, so they won’t rub.

I also left a 1/2 inch (or was it an inch?) opening in liner at bottom
so the air between could vent.

When I did not do that, condensation would get trapped between the layers.

How’s THAT for obscure information!
