Exclamation 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...

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!
I had to reach out and Touch it!

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


One repair down, the list continues.



Bonus photo post three stage polish and sealant.
