Replacement Windshield

[spider2081]

I did try safelite,

Well today I read the entire post and saw you had tried Safelite. Sounds like not all Safelite dealers provide the same quality of service.
I don't know where you are located but I think Some Fiat parts vendors that supply other part for our Spiders can get windshields also.
There is a similar post right now on Mirafiori.com describing replacing windshield procedure. It might b helpful.
I would prefer to find a new windshield. the lack of clarity of old safety glass along with glass pitting would make me len toward new instead of used.

I have two windshields one I bought cheap and another I took off a guy's hands. The one I bought looked okay but when I got it home, Not so good. The second is better but still, If I pay or take the effort to replace the windshield I want something Good, Like new.
I found a guy around here with 40 years behind him. Veterans Glass, He said he would do it but not his favorite. My guess is he did these back in the day.

I finally found the manufacturers' printing on the bottom of the new Chinese windshield that I installed last May.
I guess that you could see if an auto glass shop can order one: "FUYAO" is the name.
Like I said, nice windshield, 1mm thinner than stock. It may be all that's available new, for 124s. Post if you find something different - and post when you get your windshield in,...so we'll know that you were successful!
Best of luck!

Go to a local glass shop. I am in the final stages of a complete restoration and got one for $175, just for the glass. That is without installation.

I paid about the same for mine,...for just the glass, and my cars' gasket was in excellent shape, so I re-used it.
I really did not find installation to be a 'tough' project,...

Some Fayao glass is manufactured in Ohio. Fayao purchased an automotive glass factory there from General Motors a few years back. I went to a car show one time in Monterey and noticed one of their windshields on a 124. The glass itself looked good, but yeah...... the logo in the corner threw me. I suppose if you didn't want to spend the money for a piece of St. Gobain glass, you could always go with the Chinese company and just put a sticker over the logo. Maybe one of those small Fiat windshield stickers. A Lada differential, a Polish transmission, Mexican tires, Chinese glass......what's next? Ha! http://www.fiatplus.com/PARAFLU-WINDSCREEN-STICKER.html

Glovebox doors signed by Aurelio Lampredi....?

Or an engine signed by Enzo Ferrari, or Ferraro if that suits your culinary tastes?

Finally had my windshield replaced. It was not overly expensive, 700.00, But I was able to get it replaced through Insurance. The windshield is a fuyasa, I was fortunate to find an Independent that would do the install, Took him about 2 hrs.
