914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ Source for windshield?

Posted by: andreic Apr 16 2019, 08:16 AM

Hello,

my 1972 914 1.7L is undergoing some rust repair around the windshield frame. As part of this process I thought I would also replace the windshield. Does anyone know of a source for good, relatively inexpensive 914 windshields? My local body shop that does the work (and specializes in restorations) has not been able so far to locate one. (We were hoping to get it here in Madison, WI for under $300 shipped.)

Thanks,
Andrei.

Did you call an auto glass shop. They can usually get them ~$200

A little above your budget but I sourced one from ProSource Glass at around $315 (I think). Shipping was combined with a larger order to a Seattle restoration shop and ended up reasonable. I went this route because the windshields were Semperit. We had zero installation problems. There should be a thread somewhere on here from when ProSource did a group buy.

Decide for yourself if ProSource is the way you want to go. Just sharing my experience.

Your Porsche Classic Centre will do these - I’ve had 3 off them. V reasonable price (for a Porsche )
