Hi

I was wondering where you buy your windshields from. I have checked for a windshield for my 1969 chevelle and they are over $200. I was wondering if you can get them cheaper some place else.

Thanks

I got my front windshield from a local glass shop. Was not hard to find at all,paid $165.00 for it. so i would think yours should be just as easy to find, I have seen the fronts in alot of places, but no body makes the rears for a 65 chevelle don't know about yours though.

its been a year or two, but a local installer came to my house & replaced my 72 for $165. I've seen venders at swap meets selling windshield for $99 cash & carry. The windshields themselves are readily available. Shop around.

I had mine replaced last year after a rock hit it, it didn't crack till the next day. Any way I have a 71' GMC Sprint with the antena in the windshield and I didn't think they would have one but they did. I also had full glass coverage on my insurance so it didn't cost a dime. Something to think about when your insureance comes due agian.

Agree witht he others - check your local auto glass installer. I got one in our '71, with the internal antena, for $135 installed.

Mine for my '68 was 140 R&R. The shop came out to my place on a Friday to remove the glass. I fixed the rust and POR15'd everything and had it reinstalled on Monday.
