will 95 windshield fit 96 rx7
my friend who owns an 96 rx7 in pakistan broke his windshield. the windshield is not available at all in pakistan (theres only a handful of rx7s in the whole of pakistan). he wants me (in USA) to ship him one. i have two concerns. 1. the cars here are left-hand, and 2. rx7s got discontinued in 1995. so, does anyone know if the windshield for a 95 left-hand rx7 will fit and 96 right-hand rx7?
secondly, where else can he purchase the windshield from? in other words, do you guys know of any places in asia where he might get it from?

The 3rd gen is still available in Japan (up to this year anyways), and is essentially identical - so having one shipped from there may be more cost effective.
You can get a nice replacement from a company called PPG (makes replacement glass among other things) for less then $200 (local shop quoted just over $200 with installation), but make sure you use the factory molding. I've heard horror stories of generic molding that shops like to use shrinking over time.
Just a matter of arranging shipping for a fragile, bulky item like that.
Best of luck!
