This time last year I had a non-tint banded windshield installed in my driveway, on a Saturday, for $270.

Local glass place quoted me $242 (CDN) installed, only problem was when they went to check availability, they didn't have one in their system. After checking around price went up to $550 (CDN) and they had to order it from some place in Atlanta.

Price out a orginal Porsche windshield, haha if you can find one. Big $$$. My insurance company had a replace with oem clause in it, boy did they call me right back when they got the quote! It was $1400 so I did settle for a aftermarket one at $250 with no deductable.

$250 sounds about right ...

Mark,
Did you have a band at the top? If not, please post your source. When I priced windshields some time back, the "all clear" ones were getting a premium.

Yup, got the band at the top. He's just a local guy with a growing business. He asked what I'd been quoted from others, and underbid by a buck. Nice kid, very careful. He just put one in a customer car at the shop, and did another nice job.

Not a tint at the top. Its IN the glass. You notice it more when the glass is out.
Mine is sittin' right next to me
. Its got a blue-ish hue to it. Rear is also here. It has more of a white or clear look. Noticeable difference...

It's possible to get a windshield installed for $250 or less, but the glass has a different shape than the OEM windshields.
German 914 windshields have a compound curve most noticeable at the top. Most aftermarket 914 windshields have a flat curve, and the trim doesn't lay down nicely on them at the top.
BTW, does anyone know where Lexan windshields for racing are available?

I sold my w/s for $100 a few weeks ago. I guess I could have gotten a little more for it if I had seen these prices.
Oh well,

Chris, GT Racing may have lexan w/s, I know they have 911 side windows.

Chris, GT Racing has lexan windshield at 550. Place called Sheilds has 914 windshields around 410, the cheapest I could find. www.racingshields.com/
Bought PPG tinted for 205 not installed. I used a piece of 3/8 rubber hose and split it as a gasket. It's a race car and windshield is held in place by 2 brackets at the top and 2 at the bottom. When you don't have wipers, heat, defrost, or any windows, I didn't care if it wasn't waterproof.

Send me an email tomorrow during work to remind me and I'll call them to see if that price is still good.

The PO (or Craig) put a new windshield in my 72. It's a PPG and I have to say, it's pretty nice. I compared it with a friend of mine who had a new windshield put in his and it is a little nicer than his.
