This just in: replacement glass

I just got this in my email. Kaiser willys now has replacement glass in stock. I wonder how well it will be packaged?

It's probably a pretty good price because shipping is free for orders over $98.

 

They got the years wrong on the glass for the CJ-5 also. They are showing up to '71 same as the older's but in late '67 early '68 or so they went to bottom mount wipers with a curved top glass. That glass fits '68-'75

 

Can't ya just go to a local glass shop for replacement glass? Seems like a flat piece of safety glass should be a no brainer to make and should be reasonable. That's my plan anyway.

 

for my 1/2 cab they cut 3 panes and had them installed in about 1 hour.

 

i asked them about a windshield for my hotrod.
i got a quote of under 50 bucks.

 

I wouldn't get glass from them because I wouldn't want it to get broken during shipping. Just thought someone could use it.

 

has anyone used jeepglass.com? they have windsheilds for '68-'75 CJs for $80+$45 shipping. how is the fit and quality?

FYI.
I just had the glass replaced in my 3B a few days ago, New rubber, glass and install was around $158.00.
They had to cut it from a blank they had in stock.

 

Yea, I just had my '70 CJ5 windshield glass replaced last week too. I already bought the rubber, but they actually had the glass in stock for I think $130. I saw that Jeepglass, but with shipping, it was "one-half dozen the other"

It was the same price to buy local as have them put it in. I went ahead and let them put it in because I didn't feel like fighting that 2 piece rubber seal. It was a bear getting it out. It took them less than an hour from when I dropped it off and they called me back. They even sealed the crack where the two ends meet. Looks good.

 

utilize Walcks, Kaiserwillys is usually more expensive, and Walcks, IMHO gives very personal service.

 

Walcks didn't show any glass I could find.
Kaiserwillys wants more for the glass alone than I paid for the glass,rubber and install.
As always, shop around.

 

yes
this is one of the few times i am gonna have to say buy local.
no shipping and it's installed today.*


* and someone else gets to install it for you!

 

I have window companies ship me glass all the time and it makes it here in one piece. Windshield glass (lamented safety) will take more abuse than window glass (annealed). The problem I have seen is the shipper, glass always came broke when UPS was the shipper, Fed-Ex has always been good, not broken.
