Re: Windshield
I just had mine replaced. Unfortunately all that was available was an XYG glass which isn't the best but is better than a cracked one. If you can try to get a PGW or Pilkington they are a better glass. If all else fails there are several sellers on eBay.

Re: Windshield
Search up top. XYG does suck. Pilkington should still be available. PPG is probably scarce at this point.

Re: Windshield
Why isn't XYG any good? What is the problem with them? I saved a windshield out of one of my parts trucks for a spare... but I HOPE I never need it!wally426ci wrote:Search up top. XYG does suck. Pilkington should still be available. PPG is probably scarce at this point.

Re: Windshield
Hey Jim, they are a lot thinner than the factory glass.

Thanks, I didn't know that! so.... stay away from snowflakes? HAHA!!wally426ci wrote:Hey Jim, they are a lot thinner than the factory glass.
I don't know how true this is, but I've heard that OLDER glass gets brittle with age. So, just how "strong" are original windshields I wonder.
Re: Windshield
i just had mine replaced by safelite. it is a pgw. mine was completely covered by insurance, but i believe the total price was $253 with rubber and installation.
Re: Windshield
Key word insurance they work for next to free for them and usually give a 50% discount on the glass! Call as just a regular guy looking to have it replaced and see what the quote is. I'm sure you'll be surprised!

Re: Windshield
I got ahold of a few shops today and 3 wouldn't do one for my '68. 2 shops will. I ordered gaskets from Clester's (front and back), they should be here next week ($137 shipped to my house). Both my windows leak badly. The shop is gonna charge me $300 for new windshield and install front and back.
