I called Safelite yesterday - the number I called was supposed to be Lee's Summit, MO, however, through the automated menu, I have no idea if I actually spoke to someone in the store. I asked very explicitly to confirm which part #s they had. I first had to make a reservation online for them to find me at all... fair enough, but in talking to them, I asked about the part number. I believe they said DW01085 was in fact in stock. I asked about the DW01112, but they couldn't tell me. I asked what size the cutout was on DW01085. The person I spoke to was very helpful, but she told me she'd need to have her parts manager confirm for me what DW01085 really was. Of course, no call back today. My appointment is currently set (randomly) for 11/30... but I won't do this unless I can confirm what the part really is ahead of time.

zyal8r I did the same in fact I'm supposed to be at the store now fri 8am when they know that don't even have the glass in stock? I believe their automatic system is not connected to their actual store system. I do have the mangers number and will be calling him sometime this am.
I called and my Safelite even called the national offices and not a single person knows anything about any special glass being made so I am at a total loss. All that is available is the standard solar glass with just the vin cut out. Its getting hard to even see much so I may just go with that. Jim Last edited by rufcar; 11-17-2023 at 08:31 AM. |

I have tried calling and emailing safelite on this question and have gotten no reply or answer. Their automated phone system will cut you off after their series of menus and will never connect you to a human to have a conversation. I have tried calling the local store/branch with no success. All of the phone numbers are disconnected. Has anyone been able to successfully get their OEM windshield replaced with the safelite project glass? Would love to do this but I am struggling. Thanks for any help.

I eventually kept hitting whatever the menu option was to talk to an operator/scheduler. I had to actually make an appointment (for the wrong windshield) for them to talk to me with real data. The store manager I spoke to (in Lee's Summit, MO) knew nothing about the reproduction ZR-1 windshields, and that seems to be the case with others on this forum. So whatever Safelite has right now... isn't it!

Update: I spoke with the Safelite in Cleveland, OH today. The manager told me they would not touch a 1990 corvette let alone a ZR1. He stated the glass was not a problem but the seals would be and they would not touch the car. I suspect they would not be able to get the glass but wanted to share their feedback as I received it. If this is a program with Safelite, the word is not out to the branches at all. If anyone has details they can share about how they have had success, it would be greatly appreciated.
