I thought this sounded like a good deal.
Called about it and found out they are located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area
and go to swap meets within a 300 mile radius of Dallas/Ft. Worth.
He told me they will be in Norman, Oklahoma this coming weekend, so I will
go by and visit with them. I will update this after I get back from there. TR

A friend of mine that does car windshields for a living got mine for me at his cost of $85 with the tint on the top. Mine is a Pinkerton windshield so it is a name brand. I think that $100 is a good price for a windshield.

Seems to me, that I've heard of some inferior windshields being brought in from outside the USofA. Thinner or some such. Be carefull.

I bought a US made windshield in LaGrange Texas several years ago for my Ranger for 85 bucks, I thought that was pretty good.

Watch out for MADE IN CHINA windshields. I don't know if they are problematic or not, but just sayin'...

I beleive I would find the windshield that has the bubble in it so you will have no problem with the wipers...... Not like the flat ones I see

If I find a US made windshield for $100, I'm snatching it up. Mine needs replaced really bad. 47 years of pits and 2 major dings in it.

I just paid 120 dollars for mine at Wolfe Glass in New Albany, IN. Close to home for me. They cant get clear glass any longer. My new one has blue tint across the top and the rest clear. You can also buy a completely tinted one. :2cents:

I am going to a swap meet today and these guys are supposed to be there, so I will try to find out more about them.
If they bring any Slick Windshields with them I will look them over. TR
