so my 914 needs a windshield, I found a new one from glass America for 270$ they are local so I don't have to pay for shipping. Any experience with this glass? figured I would let the 914world know. I will update this thread when I receive it and install it.
I bought a viper gts windshield from them as well and was quite impressed. the fit was great and they were about 1/2 price. |

There's pretty much two choices. China and Germany. The Chinese is fine. The German is maybe a touch better. It's the installation that makes more of a difference than the glass.
all my opinion only. |

I have watched a good install video about 3 times. Assuming the 914 install will be easier than the viper I should be good to go. |
