There was a good article in Scientific American on this quite a few years ago. Something about microcracks promoted by water molecules.... I think it would be really hard to ship such an item. I've seen the boxes that Iowa Glass uses to ship NEW windshields and they are pretty special, and VERY big. I don't know if you could have any real assurance of getting it intact. I have a good OE windshield in my garage, but I would only offer it to someone who could pick it up, or meet me somewhere to get it. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
