FYI,

I know it's not original VW glass, but today I'm having a new front
windshield installed for $145 on the '85 rustfalia. That includes removing
the old cracked windshield, installing the new one and the price of the
windshield! I bought a new seal from Kyle Wade at Volksmotorsports for
$40!!!

> Hey all,
> OK, found a windshield for my '81 locally, used with a couple of very
> small rock chips.  Came from a local junkyard/used parts house.
>
> It came out of an early water-cooled Vanagon, and it is original VW
> glass, as evidenced by the symbol on the lower left corner of the glass.
> My current cracked windshield is PPG.
>
> It had a really crappy tint strip at the top, which was halfway off, so
> I scraped it off the rest of the way, it came off surprisingly easy, and
> even more surprising, the leftover adhesive wiped away with Windex.
>
> The VA inspection sticker left some tough residue, tho, but a couple
> squirts of WD-40 and that stuff practically dissolved!  I'm never buying
> Goo-Gone again, WD-40 works a ton better :-)
>
> And the price was OK, about $100 cheaper than new, so I'm happy.
>
> I will be installing it tomorrow, looks like a nice day for it.
>
> Thanks to everyone for their help.
