We are working on availability of Sekurit brand windshields for the 914 but waiting to determine if the tooling exists. They would not be made in Germany if it is offered. That will be a much later determination. The Chinese are available now and we have sold more than 200 pieces in the last 10 years.
That would be fantastic if Sekurit windshields became available again !
I purchased three of these in one order from this seller. I received a discount for a volume order and the shipping cost did not increase. I'm very satisfied.
Glad to hear it. No promises but I believe there is tooling in Europe from Sekurit. If they have it and will produce it would be several months- big if and chances are they would make it at their Finland plant. They make he 911 windshields there and folks are very pleased as they have the right fit and thickness etc. The pricing is about 50% higher which is justified to some. Will keep all posted. If it happens it would be summer as they run every 3-4 months minimum and 1 month over by boat.
any pictures?
Is there a West Coast warehouse?
I bought my windshield from Richard at ProSource and it fit perfectly. I don't know why anyone would hold out for the German Glass unless they are going for a full concours restoration and that is rare in the 914 world.
Richard is a great guy and even met me to deliver the windshield. Good vendor and choice for us.

I too talked (e-mail) with Richard today. Good news for me as I can pick up in Baltimore. Now to research how to install... Sure will beat $450 for the shops in my area.
you'll save yourself a bunch of work if you list the states. thanks for providing this service.
How about near Jacksonville, FL??
seattle/tacoma? this is the "bunch of work" i referred to. i have no doubt some people would buy multiples just to have one extra.
How about the Great State of Texas? Even though I don't like to buy chinese crap,I'm not gonna pay Safelite $600 for one.Shame I can't get any of the lazy windshield guys around here to find me something cheap,I know other companies make windshields but I can't get my hands on one.
It would be nice if you listed the distributors for everyone, here on the world.
I'm in Ft. Lauderdale area.
I'm in Newark, DE. I know a guy around here used to have 914 windshields but I haven't checked in a while.
[size=5] Wow I did not expect that kind of response so fast from the 914 group but I am used to the 911 and 356customer base.
Here is an accurate location of warehouses. Some have both color options, some have only one but we can get transferred to other local warehouses depending on the color request.
Of course we can ship if state does not have any warehouse unless you have someone coming through there. Sorry no Texas locations..

Great info
I have one of these from about 5 years back. Picked up in L.A.. No issues on install or up to now. Great value and fit.
I sent an email yesterday and never heard back. Definitely interested and ready to buy.
Awesome. You were in my spam box.
I finally got around to picking up my windshield today.
Made my way to the local warehouse, and HOLY SHIT are there a lot of windshields there! I asked the guy for an estimate and he said "more than 100,000...easy" and I believe him. This pic is of racks A, B, and C. I couldn't really take more, but I did hear him call out an order on rack "R" so that gives you an idea how big the place was. Anywho...on to the one I picked up.
They grabbed it and put it on the "inspection rack" to clean and go over. Spent about 5min looking over the glass and checking every inch for defects and scratches.
Mine is the "$195" version without the tint-band. It looks absolutely perfect.
I won't have it in the car for a while, but I can tell you that the quality appears to be spot-on. Big thanks to Richard at ProSource for the assist in getting everything set up.

Wow, 8 miles from my house. Will be buying soon!
Just wanted to give my two cents. I picked one up in Tampa for $150. This windshield is noticeably lighter than stock and is approximately one millimeter thinner than stock. It is also flatter. The stock windshield is a bit rounded where it meets the windshield frame. Almost bubble like. The new glass is pretty much flat from top to bottom. Personally I kind of like it that way, although the top edge of the glass is not parallel with the mounting surface of the frame.
I used the rubber gasket.
I have a shout out for Richard and Lois at Pro Glass International. I sent an email in the morning, Richard responded in the afternoon and I paid for it that same day. Model FW235 is the clear tinted one that I got for $195 out the door via PayPal. I was told it would take 48 hours to get a unit the warehouse in San Francisco. I called a day early and the warehouse apparently got it sooner than expected. I picked up my windshield within 26 hours of my email. I did a cursory inspection at the warehouse and it seemed fine. I got it home and found a bit of black dirt on the driver side on the left edge, something that would not come off with chemical or mechanical scraping. I was going to chalk it up to experience and live with it, and then emailed Richard about it he replied within hours. He contacted glass shops in the San Francisco area the next day for cleaning advice. After the glass shop saw the pic I had sent to Richard, Lois later contacted me and said I could still exchange it. I brought it back and this time the warehouse personnel stripped off the shipping padding and the entire glass could be inspected thoroughly. The first unit was okay, but the padding foam had hidden the black marks. (see pic) The lesson learned here is to be thorough and inspect the entire glass before driving away. I commend Richard for his effort and Lois for her patience. Richard was emailing at all odd hours checking on the status of things. He has excellent follow through. I would not hesitate buying from them again. My highest recommendation.
UPDATED April 28 2014. here is the finished installation, using 3M brand 3/8" butyl bead

Have to add, still no Texas? Are there any "affiliations" or distributors you'd be willing to work through? I'd like to have a solid option when the time comes!
