Windshield Help, Install tips and Installer recomendations in New England. Options

[pktzygt]

I recently bought a '74 1.8 driver and a '73 2.0 parts car (part-out to follow soon). I already pulled the good windshield from the parts car and I am in need of some experience on getting it installed. I plan on getting it installed professionally for safety reasons. I have a couple questions though.

1.Does anyone have any good or bad experience with windshield installers in New England area, specifically southern ME, eastern NH?
2.Will the installer have all the parts/gaskets required?
3.What parts/gaskets do i need to ask the installer to use?
4.Anyone have any experience with the gasket used to eliminate the silver trim? (still haven't decided)

I've been lurking the boards for a while, but now i finally have my car. I'll try to be less invisible.

Thanks,
Sean

Upper end restoration work.

I've had them reset my windshield on both of my 914's and was very pleased.

It will set you back a few pennies over the local glass replacement shop, however you will happier with the results.

I'll check them out. I recently found out about a porsche restoration shop right down the road in Portsmouth, NH. I was told they have a bunch of older 911's in the shop.

Thanks for the tip.

You can also check with Foreign Intrigue in Berwick ME.
Michael sold off the new parts business a few years ago, but he is still in the restoration/service business.
He also has a pretty good stash of used parts that you may want to go see.

With the sale of the new parts business, went the Foreign Intrigue name. New name is Autosport Northeast. Same number. Michael has a wealth of Porsche experience and enough used parts for 914's (and all the other models) to fill the ol' chicken coop/barn wall to wall, floor to ceiling on two floors. It's amazing the stash of parts that he has.
