Where in northern LA County or Ventura County can I buy a front windshield? I've heard Porsche still sells them, and they are really expensive. Where can I get a decent aftermarket one?
Also, I'd appreciate any recommendations for installers. I may try to do this myself, but I want to call around anyway, if for no other reason than to see how much money I'd save if I did it myself.
I did a search on this site and didn't find anything.

I would spend the money and get the Sigla.
It is an easy two person job and a doable one person job.
I think you can get everything you need from 914rubber.com

In the posts I did find about windshields, no one posted the specifics about where they got theirs.
Is Sigla the OEM Porsche brand?

I got a Semperit one from ProSource Glass about a year ago and it was an easy fit and fine quality. I also had purchased one for my Merkur XR4Ti a few years from the same people. I believe they are in Massachusetts but freight was reasonable because Richard combined mine with other make windshields to the Seattle area. I believe I paid around $315 plus $100 freight.
The Porsche dealer ones were $595.00 at the time and in clear only.

Not my post but I looked the question on Google and fount this. Ask him where to get the glass.

Rufino can come to your place. He did several 914 windshields here in SoCal and even mine.
His number is: (714) 292-5811

Let a pro do this. It is unwieldy and they break easily and then you will need a second one and be right where you are now. When you hear the clink’ game over.

I would agree ...BUT...many of the chain glass places will only do installs with Urethane cement/adhesive due to liability reasons.
Our car wasn't designed for such ridged mount of the windshield and I can tell you from 1st hand experience (depending on the condition of your car & your local roads) it may not survive its inaugural drive if you use it, vs Butyl

Yup. It’ll break...
