New front whindshiels...WHERE ?
 
Where can I find a front windshield for my 72 RX2?

I have been looking but no luck. Anyone know where I can get one at a reasonable price??

Mann 11-04-03 12:28 PM

I have some but not 4 a reasonable price!
These things are almost impossible to find. I looked for about a year then found some new old stock windshields. Some have the tint across the top and others don't, I have a few. I paid 390.00 plus shipping a piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I live on the east coast and I think these are the only windshields in the usa and japan. haha. Make an offer

Detlman 11-04-03 02:27 PM

DAMN I found 2 and one was $285 and the other $320

Thanks for the offer but if you are asking a markup on $390 I will pass.

I wonder if a 4dr Rx2 front window would fix?

Detlman 11-04-03 03:12 PM

not sure, do you need one or do you have one for sale ?

gradedcheese 11-04-03 03:19 PM

crap, I'm going to need one for my 4dr as well :( That's even more expensive than a windshield for a 1972 BMW 3.0CS... insane.

Saran Wrap :D

gradedcheese 11-04-03 07:55 PM

plexiglass with aluminum anti-stress frames, race car style :)

Kick 11-05-03 01:31 AM

I know were their is a 4dr Rx2 in a 100% there in a wrecking yard.

I bought mine from Glass Search but I think they have changed their name when I talked to them this to order a spare they had 4 in stock and will be making more. my car is a 72 RX2 4Dr and it cost me 189.80 plus 67.00 shipping their part# 244 and the phone is 800-848-1351. Good luck.

I got a quote of $620 plus shipping (ouch!) for a new windshield for a R100.

Detlman 11-05-03 03:27 PM

I just called and no more. The # for the 2 door is 243.

they arent going to have anymore and had no leads to get any....BUMMER !! That price was lookin good.

Mann 11-06-03 12:45 PM

two door and four door are different. The 4 door windshield is a few inches taller and maybe a little wider, I tried already.

The plexiglass isn't really good for a street car in my opinion. 1. After repeated washing it scratches and looks ugly. 2. Driving at night becomes a chore because the light doesn't just go through the plexi, it reflects across the windshield and causes a glare! Dangerous.
But you can try.

Like I said. I think I might have the only ones out here.

Happy hunting.

Seems like there's a definite market for old rotary windshields. Some of these glass companies need to get on the ball and make some more. I know the people in this thread aren't the only ones looking.

gradedcheese 11-06-03 06:18 PM

i was just joking about the plexiglass :)

there's no way i'm paying someone more than $200 for used glass, that's just insane

antiSUV 11-07-03 02:19 PM

OK, I just found a place that has new windshields for my RX-4 coupe. I will post their info after I buy my windshield, becuase they very well might have those Rx-2 ones you guys are wanting. I'm paranoid some lurker might call and get the last winshield before I do, that's why I'm not telling yet.

PLease dont forget to post after you order yours. I am getting ready to order one and if I can find it closer or cheaper that would be great. Best price I found so far is $285

gradedcheese 11-09-03 01:37 PM

yes, please keep us updated :) I need to change my windshield gasket so that water doesn't get into my interior but with the crack in my glass I know it will break apart when i remove it :(

Where do you guys prefer to buy your gaskets for RX-2's by the way?

antiSUV 11-15-03 12:11 PM

OK, I'm still going to post this info. But I was informed of a windshield in a yard in Idaho. I called them and they are supposedly going to remove it and if it doesn't break they are shipping it to me. So I am waiting for them to call and tell me what's up. After they call me, or this deal falls through, I will post the info.

Kick 11-15-03 02:54 PM

Over seas :P.. heh
I have no idea.

Detlman 11-19-03 11:17 PM

what is the word on the windshield, did you get one yet?

Detlman 11-20-03 05:37 PM

just ordered a windshield, $315.00 SHIPPED !!!!!

antiSUV 11-25-03 10:55 AM

I found the Rx-4 windshields at Lo-Can:

800-345-9595

Sorry for my tardiness.

Detlman 11-25-03 02:25 PM

that was one of the places I found them for the rx2 but they were $320 + crate + shipping right at $500

thanks for the info!

Rotortuner 11-26-03 12:34 AM

Does any one have info on rx3 windshields? I have 2 rx3's and one has a pretty big crack in it, so i think i should replace it eventualy. Any ideas??
