I got my 914 out of the paint shop on Saturday morning, and spent the weekend replacing all the pieces parts. My window was badly pitted and hard to see through in night driving. I know the window had been removed about five years ago when some major work was done, but Rufino confirmed that the old windshield had been replaced.
Car with windshield removed.  Rufino cleaning all the channels and making sure the clips for the trim are solid.  The channel all gets cleaned and primed with rust resistant primer.  Installing the butyl tape.  More butyl tape.  And another of the tape installation.  Rufino found a missing trim clip, so he reams out the attachment hole, and installs a new clip.  Finally, the new windshield.  |

It comes in the extra 1/2" needed to hide the edges. Only necessary if you want to hide the bead of material used to install the glass and using a rubber seal. Then only if your bead is not even and consistent. Hard to do, but a professional can do it if you let them know it will show. Mark |
