Took mine to a local glass guy. Looked like there were too many pitfalls for a do it your self project. I know someone here who tried it himself and it didn't go so well :shock:

Spider windshield is very easy to install. Remove cowl panel. That way you can be sure to seat the gasket, on the 79-on cars there are 2 clamps there too. Bolts right on very straight forward. Take your time

Try searching the forum. I've done it several times on a few different spiders. I've written a few paragraphs on the experiences, what tips and tricks, what to expect, and what can go wrong.

thats what I haven't been able to figure out here on the forum..........how you can search the archives for subjects you wish to research...........how do I get to your windshield "paragraphs"? Do I have to read every subject

Rontron,

to search, first you must be "signed-in" to the forum. Select "Search" and enter your keyword(s). Be creative it can be a little frustrating, but it works. In the meantime here's another post on the subject:
