10th ae windshield glass???
Do any of you know where to get the bronze tinted windshield glass for a 10th ae? Good prices would help too, a local windshield place quoted me $700 for the glass alone.

BUMP^^ Heh I'd like to know also. Mine has tiny rock chips in it, but if it gets a crack I don't think I would want to put on a normal windshield. Our bronze tinted ones own.

$700, ouch!!!
Is it even bronze though?
Might just have to pray that someone is parting one out, and isn't too far of a drive away. I couldn't begin to imagine what it would take to ship a windshield.

You only have two choices.
1) Get a second job and kiss *** at a Mazda dealer to get a new one.
2) Hope you get lucky and get an original one off of a 10AE parts car.
No aftermarket windsheild company makes bronze tinted glass for 10AE's. There is virtually no demand for it.

$700 for glass alone is a rip off.
My insurance actually installed an original 10AE windshield in my car after I insisted it was the only correct part. Mazda was the ONLY source for the windshield. I think the aftermarket glass was like $500 Canadian, and the 10AE glass from Mazda was I think like $1300. I would never pay that myself, but if you can go through insurance like I did you might get lucky.

PPG's part number for mazda windshields with and without front antenna is as follows:
FW00521 BTN
FW00521 GTN
FW00521 GBN
FW00521 BBN
(ANTENNA)
FW00522 BTN
FW00522 GTN
FW00522 BBN
I can install the 521's for $295.00 and the 522's for $150..I don't believe there is a molding charge. I'm not sure if the BB, BT, etc. is a color code or not, but the bronze tint may be available.

I am glad this thread popped up, hope it won't come in handy though ;-)
