Folks,
Do you folks out there have an opinion on this . local glass shop in Memphis cangetand install a front windshield on a 914 . But . . . . it's a PPG window and has to be shipped in from around Kansas . To install it glass only , so far no rubber gasket , will cost parts + S/H = $595 plus tax . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Any ideas if this is excessive ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) Anyone know of an actual supplier/mfg of the generic rubber gasket/seal that has been previously mentioned in other postings and where I can get it ? Still need to sell my Caddy CTS before I can get a 914 . No room at the Inn . Anyone interested ???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thanks for any input guys .

Are the " clips " needed on a window that will not use the metal trim pieces ? Do the clips hold the glass centered in place or do they help attach the metal trim in place ? Would the clips be needed if one were to use the rubber seal/gasket ? Vis a Vis , metal trim vs. rubber trim piece
People say that they got the glass , PPG for $215 , but where and how long ago ? Is there some distributor mail order place that sells them ? Personally I do not trust Evil Bay and the con artists that sell on it . Living in the Mid South is a pain because of the limited supply of good auto parts establishments when it concerns foreign cars and Porsche's in particular . Also , what about the door window pieces ? the main window and the sail panel piece ? Any problems there as to being NLA or just hard to get ? Thanks for any feedback . |
