As luck has it, my 914-6 was attack by an irrate stone, resulting in a dime size blister with a couple of cracks running out from the impact center.

Is there a source of correct "clear" glass available?

Used only, I am pretty sure. Contact Rich Bontempi at High Performance House, maybe they have one. $$$$ Or maybe you can get lucky and score one off of someones parts car.

Ooohh! Sorry to hear that! Would be simpler if it hit the paint!

I agree w/Jeff - try to find someone parting a 914. Still, not an easy fix, nor a cheap ship, but there "ain't no mo" of those things as new.

Good luck, and I know you were at the Parade - what was the outcome?

I just had a spot like that repaired on my 928 windshield by Safelite Auto Glass (insurance paid 100%). They came to my home to do it. I can find the spot but I bet no one else could.

Purchased a new windshield from Porsche dealership. It did not have the VW logo like new but I think it was original manufactor. It had to be shipped from Germany, and they had several left. It was about $350.

I buy most my parts from Sunset Porsche in Oregon. If you're out of state they charge 15% over cost and no tax. Buyer pays shipping. They'll order from Germany which takes @ 3 weeks.
