HELP!! FD Windshield
 
I just got off the phone with Speedy Glass.

My windshield has to be replaced (which I knew) and after a week of making calls, they cannot find a single windshield for my 7. He said even Mazda suggested I try a scrap yard... (Yeah, cuz you know - FDs are plentiful down at Mikes)


Has anyone had one replaced? Does anyone have one that's in one piece? (Roller etc.)


I would even have a hard time selling my FD like this. (Not that I'm looking to.


I don't even know where to look next. :(

Wow, cool thanks.


I've never dealt with them before. I guess I have to figure out if I can get this covered by insurance somehow and if I can have the windshield shipped to Speedy... :scratch:

Apple Auto Glass in Oakville did it for me.

Not the cheapest, but a very good job.

You guys are being a great help, thanks so much.


I'll call Apple this week and if that doesn't pan out I'll try Dom's guy.

I got a new Windshield in and when I got the car I went out on the highway and went "WTF?"..I was so used to seeing dots and sand pitting that the new windshield looked like it was NOT even there!..heh!

Yeah it is always awesome!


Thanks for all the help guys, I was surprised that Apple Autoglass could find a windshield no problem when Speedy couldn't :scratch:


One repair down, the list continues.



Bonus photo post three stage polish and sealant.
