What a Kia Optima (2006.5) windshield costs

Installed pricing for the Kia Optima (2006.5) sits between $249 and $609. Where you land inside that band depends on your trim: acoustic interlayers, rain sensors, heated wiper park zones, and heads-up display wedges each add real manufacturing cost to the pane.
