I am planning to replace the windshield weatherstrip while I am at it. Checked Eckler's, $150 for the Made in USA rubber. Any comments?

Safelite installed the new windshield (DW1112) yesterday. Reused the moldings, no problem. Installed new weatherstrip from Safelite, fit great! Also, saved the old windshield (undamaged) for posterity! Job took 3 hrs and the tech was very neat. Total cost was $305! Windshield has "Solar Tint" for UV resistance. Only downside was Windshield was "Made in u guessed it". But what isn't these days! Looks great and havn't discovered any distortion.

I'd like to see it. Were you driving up U.S.-95 last week? I saw a red '90 on the road.

That wasn't me. !0 years ago there were around 15 ZR-1's in the Vegas area that I could account for. I don't know the current number.
I would be happy to show you anytime. I live near the 215 and Trop. (southwest).

What rubber did you purchase and what was the source? What is the subframe OE......is this the molding John mentions that he reused? Does Marc have Safelite install windshields he obtains from other sources?

on my to-do list for sure. A new windshield makes a massive difference. its the pitting/age that concerns me more than the delam because it makes the car look and feel brand new... Ok the delam sucks too but I definitely need one.
Anyone know of any experienced C4 glass installers around Buffalo/NY or Michigan near Detroit? |

I have no had any issues yet on my 93' C4 regarding de-lamination but if I did, I would have someone do it for me. What a mess it would be for the DIY guy.

Hello John,
Thanks for sharing your experience. I need to do mine too and wondering if you found that there is no such thing as a "US" made windshield replacement for our cars? As much as I want to keep original, it really takes away from the car with the condition of the windshield and being asked what is wrong with it.
