If you can find your own glass most places shouldn't charge more than $50 to install it.
I think I paid $75 for them to R&R the rear glass, I supplied the glass. You're right about using a reputable shop. The glass has to be perfectly clean then a primer is applied where it contacts the urethane. I believe they also use a primer on the body where the urethane is applied.
