Title: Windshield
Post by: meatloafsandwich on April 24, 2011, 07:35:37 am

Okay so the three cracks in my windshield have finally crossed the finish line and now I need a windshield. I have an 87 notch, my first question is: will any year fit? And second question is: anyone have one? Any recommendations would be great!

Any year will fit. Any model.

I don't know where any are.

You might try ThaDriver.

A new one will run about $225 installed.

Also might want to check with Dean/Whodeanie. With all the chop-top-jobs he does, he might have a spare or two

Safelite Glass did a good job replacing the windshield on my t-top coupe. They come to your location to do the job. But the first guys that came out couldn't figure out exactly how to do it, so they had to call in their older car expert. No extra cost for that. They also cleaned and painted the VIN tag (at the base of the windshield on the driver's side) because it was a bit rusty. That was a nice added touch, also no extra cost.

Thanks for the replies guys! That is not as much as I thought it was gonna be. I will call Dean because I still don't have the trim replaced from when I put in the sunroof so I could do it myself pretty easily. And that is a great idea to paint the vin tag, I had to take a piece of Emory cloth to mine so I could read it. Maybe paint it black then go over the numbers with a silver paint pen. Anyways, thanks again guys and I hope y'all had an awesome Easter!

Yeah, Dean and his wife also own a glass company.  If you don't have the trim, you can't get the original narrow trim any more.  The only thing that's available is about a half to three quarters inches wide but it does a better job of preventing leaks due to wind pressure. 

Had a good Easter.  The Bunny was too fast and got away, but the pig and turkey weren't, so that's what we had for dinner.

I think the Fiero Store still has the correct trim, & I like it much better than the wider shtuff (looks cleaner & more modern).
