New glasses

Im looking for a car glass supplier in the USA. I searched the net but couldnt find anything good. The thing is that here in Canada, the cars had only defrost backglasses.

Since Im rebuilding this car for summer fun, and putting new glasses all around, Id love to go with a defrost less backglass.

Anyone knows a website I could check for prices? Ive been quoted here @ 480$ w/defrost and 800$ w/o. There's a huge gap between those 2 prices. I guess the big price on the defrost less window is majorly due from shipping etc.

I dont really care taking a day to go down there to pick one up. If anyone knows a place in Vermont, NY or Maine (states closer to me) please lmk.

Thanks!

Re: New glasses

price difference is probably because most have defrost. Mine doesn't and it would be nice if it did. Those times when the back window gets fogged up it would held to have the defrost.

Geeze, wish you were local, I'd swap you my non-defrost for your defrost window in a heartbeat. Not sure about the Great White North, but most junkyards here charge around $20 for rear glass.

Re: New glasses

Not to hyjack, but what about side window glass? Mine are scratched up from something in the door, and I wanna wither fix them or replace them.
