windshield gasket replacement

Hello,
 I'm looking for a glass shop to replace my front windshield gasket on my 1995 U300. Does anyone have a recommendation for someone in the Ocala/Gainesville area? Any Idea on the cost? I have ordered the gasket from FOT.  Here on the forum (I have already read almost every past post related to w/s replacement and gasket issues) there are many different answers about what joints to seal so I have e-mailed FOT for the specific recommendations on the sealing requirements of the new gasket.
Most shops I have called don't want to bother with it and cannot or do not want to offer any recommendations.
I may end up doing it myself, although we are entering the rainy season here in mid Florida.
Thanks,
Rick

I use Parliament Coach in Tampa. It is well worth the ride. These folks do all my work and they are well known at Foretravel. They can offer you the night to stay, 50 amp service and water. Pricing the same as if you were at the plant. I have stayed the day before and after my service for making it easy on myself. Also, you get your coach washed after they are done!

For whatever its worth, MOT quoted me somewhere under $1200.00 materials and labor. Most MOT service folks are former Foretravel techs and may very well have helped build yours  and our Coaches in 94/95. There is an excellent opportunity to realign our bulkheads when the glass is out and they are probably the best in the country at Grandvilla bulkhead adjustment and Glass replacement.
                                                                              Best of luck whomever you use.
