() Date: August 16, 2022 03:09PM I am in Orange, Calif ( near Disneyland )& need a windshield. I am finding out that they are hard to find. Does anyone know of a source & someone who can install it ? PM would be OK. Doug Ward Orange, Calif. 65 Corsa 180, 64 Monza convertible, 61 Lakewood, 61 Monza ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: source for a LM windshield Posted by:

() Date: August 16, 2022 03:48PM It is glue in-windshield, so any modern glass installer should be able to install the windshield. I am on the east coast, and at one time I had a slew of them but sold them off. About 20 years ago my wholesaler offered me a few pallets (aorix 200) of late model tinted windshields for $75 each, but I had no place to put them so I only bought what I had room for at the time. In retrospect, I should have bought them all. The other thing was that I didn't want to invest $15000 in glass! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Woodstock CT...

() Date: August 16, 2022 04:50PM Doug, I bought one earlier this year at a place called "AutoGlass now"....it only cost me like $130 incl tax. I did NOT have them install it as my L/m needed some body work/welding done due to the dreaded l/m lower windshield rust. Not sure if they exist on the west coast, but a number of locations out here and I know they are a national franchise. Good luck.
