Windshields are still available in the green tint, and probably clear too. Should run about $125. The Cal look seals of recent manufacture will all crack in short order, the better of the NOS style dont seem to, but there are 2 kinds available, one with a short lip that wont seal and one with a longer lip that will. Marks bug barn has the correct ones available. Not to plug them haphazardly but I had him go out and measure one before I bought it and it was the long lip style. I think there around $40 or so. > > As for the seal, I don't mind going Cal Look if I have > to, but I will try to get the seal with trim first. > VWISPWEST has a complete set for $180, but I'm a > little wary after the performance of their Fasty pop > out window seals...seemed to crack much earlier than I > expected. Replacing the windshield is a much more difficult task than any of the other windows, because in the US they arent tempered and crack easily. The Professional guys at the glass shops have *always* broken one on the first attempt when doing my cars... but when they break one, and its a new one, they have to pay for the next one they get and you dont. So its not worth your trying to install one if its a new one.
