Someone broke my perfect windshield w/antenna!
Where can I buy a new windshield?
I'm not worried about the antenna, I think I can add one later!
Thanks!

You and I are in the exact same boat.

Thank's for your response Josh!
Please let me know when you get new windshields.
If this include antenna, very good, if not, I believe I could duplicate the antenna, it is installed on the surface of the glass and not in between the layers.
My car was stored for over 15 years, maybe 20. After the first ride on the higway it was parked for about two hours, then when we returned to the car it was badly cracked, my first tough was that someone broke in purpose but after reading on this subject, I'm thinking that may be it had a lot of strain and broke itself.
One question for you, does the new windshields will have the DMC logo?

No DMC logos. We were debating having the Saint Gobain Sekurit on the front glass. I decided not to on that as well.

Rob Grady told me that John Hervey bought the whole crate of windshields that were imported by the Forum member in Virginia a couple of years ago (DMCPilot?). Has anybody tried contacting John?

I think he sold them all. They were listed on his website about a year ago and I believe the website said there were only a few left. The windshields are no longer listed on his website.
Incidentally, didn't you have a windshield replaced recently? Was it a NOS 30 year old windshield or did you work some magic and get a new one from somewhere?

Cameron told me I got the last usable windshield in Houston. It's got some significant delamination on the bottom edge, still only visible from outside the car, so any others still down there may be delaminated all the way up into the viewing area.
Dave Swingle had some windshield in Illinois last winter, but he doesn't like to ship them due to past breakage problems. He's cool with owners picking them up in person.
