| I have a 95 Super Sport and the center fold-out glass got mysteriously shattered on a 2 mile, 45mph drive to the gas station. The frame is all good and all I need is some replacement glass. Any help? or ideas? |

Take the frame to a glass shop and have them cut you a tempered replacement.

| I have and they say there is a very slight bow to the glass. Plexiglass may be a substitute, but I'd prefer true replacement glass. |

While the frame may have a slight curve, I would be very surprised if the glass itself wasnt flat. The front piece on my '90 was flat glass, but curves several inches in the center. ------------- |

It sounds like your going for a new windshield. Here is an interesting
site that will explain, in detail, various situations. I contacted http://www.autoglassguru.com/state-ID.html - idaho auto glass , who says it's bad for the rubber around the windows, but would offer me cleaning instructions on Monday when they open. |

Wrong "glass shop" that doesn't know glass!! Slight curve? So what? Just as Tim mentioned, the glass bends. You walked into a shop with a bunch of "glass stupids"!! Have you ever seen the single piece of glass used in the early 80's? Port to starboard curved by the frame from a piece of flat glass!! Yes it's true - find another shop that really knows glass!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I had a friend put is ass through his center glass (open bow door) The glass shop here took the measurements and ordered a tempered replacement. $35.00 One quote was $90! Find the right shop as Pete said. ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life."
