Re: Need Windshield For My Z28

try some local glass shops..around here most places charge about 200 bucks for a new windshield.. or if u want u could try some junkyards, buying new weatherstripping for ur car and replacing it yourself or bringing it to a glass shop and let them install it for a couple bucks..

Re: Need Windshield For My Z28

Just paid $263 today and I have to take it back on Monday. The molding isn't sitting very tight to the body or glass leaving gaps under the edge. They're going to take out the molding, trim the bottom edge a bit and try installing it again.

Re: Need Windshield For My Z28

Be sure to specify if you want tinted window (that blue tint at the top of the glass) or not. There will be a slight price difference. You don't want to go through getting a new windshield and discovering it's not what you had or want.
