The Legends Bluesmobile needs a windshield, so I call around to our local glass shops, lowest price is 400. Even a shop I have used before.. Anyone have a better find?

400.00 isn't to far off the mark. I had one put in my car, it is a DW823GBN Pilkington windshield it cost 230.00 for the glass and totaled 338.00 installed. It was done by a local mobile glass shop, the women who took the order was very helpful in keeping the cost down by ordering the windshield to come with their normal stock orders if I could wait a week to have it done. At the time she said if I had wanted it right away it would be nearer to 500.00. Also the new windshields are a little bit thinner and lighter than the original windshield but it didn't seem to have any fitment issues. Hope you find a good one at a reasonable price.  |

Shop around, I was quoted $200.00 installed for a new windshield for my '75 Gran Fury by our local glass vendor. We get a discount at our shop but even if it's 50% or 100% a new one should run $300-$400 maximum. Mark up is usually only around 33% on glass as far as I know ( I could be wrong on that). I'd help you out but our vendor is out of PA, nowhere near Arkansas.

Thanks Adam, my local shops, tell me they are on back order. Also checked a safelite 150 miles away, they cannot even get, worth the shot

If you want I'll call and find out who makes it and maybe a local vendor by you can order it (unless they're on back order thru my guys too, I haven't checked in a few months), or keep an eye out with the local demo guys or Craigslist. Good luck.

Anyone still looking for a windshield? I need two (Royal Monaco and Gran Fury) so I did my magic insurance search and found new and used ones all over the country, some as cheap as $35.00. I found a yard in Jersey about 100 miles fro me with two new ones for $100 each that I have to call tomorrow to see if they're still available and if they're clear or shaded. PM me with your location and I'll send you the yard's info closest to you if you need one.
