RE: 62-65 Windshield replacement



Windshields for my 65 Barracuda are readily available from a number of sources so I assume it would be the same for B-bodies.  I contacted windshieldstogo.com and they quoted a price of $276.00 for a 65 Bel II HT picked up at one of their locations.  Shipping extra.  It is probably an imported windshield.  The gasket cost me $95 on eBay.  I ended up having a local shop order the windshield and install it for about $500 total and I supplied the gasket.  That way, if it broke it was their problem.  It included tinting and they did not damage the trim.

Would appreciate some tips on windshield glass.........

 

When any of you have had the windshield replaced, do you simply have the local glass shop source it? 

What brand glass is best?

What has it cost installed? 

Can the average glass shop do it without messing up the stainless trim?

 

Any options or things to watch for on the OEM green tint - or the possible shade bar at top?

 

Is metro the best source for the rubber seal?

 

Also going to have the rear quarter windows reset.  There is only one manufacturer of the qtr glass seals I know of, PRP linked below.  But they show out of stock on the passenger side at the moment.......
