I am in need of a windshield for my 76 914. Any recommendations? Has anyone used the one from Rockauto.com?

I believe JawjaPorsche in Clayton, Ga. had his done a while back. You might send him a PM.

they're available at the local windshield repair shops for about $150.... I had them do away with the chrome trim since it was coming off at the higher speeds on the track..... put in a generic rubber surround it's working great.... but you might consider getting the one from Mikey 914 it's probably better

Got a brand new tinter from ProSource Glass International. Excellent price and outstanding service. I recommend to all.

Anderson Windshield replaced mine for less than $280 last year. Did it in less than 1.5 hours. Here is link: http://www.andersonwindshield.com/

His shop is about 140 miles from you. Might be worth driving over one day to get it done. He guarantees his work too.

He has replaced three windshields in my cars and he is a good man to deal with.

Thanks - I'll give them a try.

Tell Jim I sent you. I got new windshield clips from 914rubber but they just used the old clips. Yours might be different.

Those clips are plastic and can get brittle.

I would replace them or at least have them available for replacment becuase the windshield installer won't have them and they are all that holds your trim on.

Cant remember but I think there are 19?

I bought a few extra and was glad I did as they can be a fragile install.
