the problem is always the shipping. You can buy a new windshield from the local glass places made in china or a new factory one from porsche and pick ip up at the dealer

I've had one on order with my local Safelight shop since May. The reason it is delayed is because he won't charge me shipping if I wait until he has enough windshields to order for a regular shipment. It will cost me $220. Business has been slow due to COVID so it is taking awhile, but I'm a CSOB so can also be a patient SOB. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We have for the first time brand new Sekurit made windshields for the Porsche 914 due in to us within the next 2 weeks. These are manufactured by the Sekurit plant in Finland that does shorter production runs . We are able to offer in clear for $300 or green tint for $315. This is the first time we are able to offer. The quality and fit will be the best and certainly an alternative to the Chinese brand.
There is a $25 crate fee and freight charges via truck carrier range from $135 to $200 within the continental USA. We are now taking orders. These will ship after the first week in August.

The best way to reach us is Toll Free 877-345-2800 or via email : info@prosourceglassintl.com
We accept all major credit cards & PayPal. We can send a Paypal request . Thank you.



2016 post, I purchased mine from them in mid 90’s They also had a 2004 group buy.

Tried to get Sekurit for my recent replacement. Patrick Motorsports had them in stock last fall but as of my visit there in March they are NLA. Had to to with the Porsche dealer replacement courtesy of my ins. company. Pretty high dollar item I'm told.

That may be the best message you could get. I would rather they decline a job than try to muddle their way through one when they have not done a 914 windshield before and mess it up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

True, but I was just trying to see if they could get me one, that I'd install myself .. because my understanding is that none of the big name modern glass dealers are going to use a Urethane mastic/glue or caulk for installation - as is needed on our cars. True or not guys ?

Actually the opposite if I understand your question.
Due to "liability" reasons few shops will sell you the glass outright for DIY install
Or optionally if they do they will void any warranty for any reason.
Most insist on installing the glass and then require it to be installed with Urethane which IMO & experience is a BAD idea.
Best idea as was mentioned previously is order from a dealer or a PCA referred vendor & use that discount if youve got one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

OK, maybe I have the Urethane thing mixed up .. I thought someone (in a past thread) mentioned using whatever old school mastic, because it was better with vibration. I thought it was Urethane but maybe that's the new stuff. Which is the preferred product?
