Are new windshields still available in the U.S. ?

Post by Rustbucket78 »

Sooner or later I'm going to need a new windshield.
The only good spare one I had mysteriously split down the middle of inside laminate.
What makes it worse still is that I'm in the UK.
So I'm just wondering if they're still available new in the USA, and a ball park figure that I would expect to pay.

Then, if I find somewhere in the UK that can supply/fit, I'll know just how much I'm being ripped off

Hopefully if I live long enough I'll get to drive the first three.

Recieved mine today, ordered on Monday from a local glass company Jack Morris auto glass, Paid $180.xx out the door delivered to my shop (they have trucks in the area daily, so no delivery charge).

If you're insured with windscreen cover just claim..... That's what I'm doing with our two.
