GA Cannot locate new 2nd Gen Windshield.. Any out there?

My bodyshop cannot locate a new windshiled for my 1991 coupe.
(Hit by a falling tree)

Does anyone know of a vendor that sells NEW windshileds?

I want one that is free of "stars" from years of use.

Did they try calling a glass shop? It's not an uncommon car. I had mine replaced with a new one not too long ago.

You can't seriously be asking that question.

Can you be constructive and tell me what company you used?
I'll have them contact my shop and tell them what supplier they used.

THAT would be helpful.

any autobody shop should be able to get ahold of one for you. make sure it comes with the plug in antennae in the windshield if you care for OEMness

Call up any auto glass company in your area and they will be able to get you one.

I have a friend who runs a windsheild repair business, and he found one in about 2 minutes. It was made by PPG, I think.

You can also try pull-a-part north or south they usually have 2 or 3 2nd gens. Most of th eones i have seen have had good windshields on them.

You know, I had the same thought, which is why I gave that response. Nothing against you, I just can't stand most body outfits. Most of them are scammers that increase my insurance rates.

Tell them to get off their asses and find you a windshield, what kind of body shop is this that tells their cutomer to go looking for parts?

I used binswanger glass, btw.
