Glass guy came out. It's going to cost $135 total, including labor.
Much less than I thought it would be.

Yup. It's not too expensive if you can find a good glass
guy to replace the unit (versus the window).

I didn't realize that the whole double-pane "module" is a sealed unit.
I was under the impression that you pop out the broken pane and pop in
a new one.

Yes, and you don't need a local supplier to actually make
the unit. Just a good local guy who knows how to measure
and spec the unit. He needs a good (proven) supplier
and he needs to know how to install the thing properly.

There a still quite a few around but, if you find a good
glass guy, save his phone number for next time. Friends
and neighbors will thank you too.

BTW, chances are he'll replace your car windshield for
a good price if the need arises down the road ;-)
