There is a guy named Ruffino out in the Costa Mesa area that has a lot of 914 experience; I spoke to him awhile ago but never had him come out.

I too need a WS installed now and need to recontact him. He was recommended through the forum here. group install? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hopefully someone can post or PM his number...I have to dig for it, but i need him too...good price too. Install pics anyone??
He'll come out to me and I am in the north LA area.

Eric,

Ruffino's number is 714-292-5811. He will come to you and can do the rubber trim if you want to switch. Price is really reasonable. He has done 3 for me plus in/outs for painting.

Good Guy


Jim

Not trying to hijack the thread but does anyone know of someone who can do this in the KC area? I need to have my windshield replaced too.
Thanks.

Oh! I moved out of that rat-hole. I'm about 4 hours north of there. Drop in some time. We'll drink some wine (they got lots of it here) and talk about your windshield. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Wine? Wine is fine but whiskeys' quicker.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
What you need is some good Kentucky spirits...

Jim;

I spoke to Ruffino - You're right. His pricing is very reasonable. I am arranging for him to replace my window immediately after my new paint has dried.

My thanks.

And as for mojorison914 - Maker's Mark is still the best sipping whiskey I have ever experienced. I have a barrel in storage with my name on it in Loretto, KY. It's another year or so before they tap it.

And yes, I am a Kentucky Colonel (but you can call me Eric).

Does anyone have pictures of his install? i spoke to him and described that I want the universal seal with the chrome strip in it and I wanted the black paint on the perimeter done.

He seemed to understand perfectly, but I get reluctant when i hear "yeah, yeah, no problem...".

He really knows his stuff. I have the all black outer seal with the inside edge painted; Dan, Proto 31, had the rubber with the stainless strip installed. The guy is a pro with a ton of 914 experience on both front and rear glass.

So he supplied the seal with the stainless strip, painted the glass and installed it?

I am ready to pull the trigger and do it!

Yes.

When you have him do it, take pictures and post them.
