where to buy a windsheild
 

well a while back a punched my windsheild in anger and all but put a hole in it. its cracked from side to side and top to bottom
now that i am getting my car back on the road i need a windsheild


called honda and they want $400. i have a friend that works in VA but its a 2hour drive round trip and they wont accept CC over the phone from out of state. even though i get adeal through him i would have to drive there twice, so its not much cheaper in the end for a lot more hassle.



is there any type of aftermarket glass makers?? i called a bunch of places around me (Frederick MD) and they all said dealer only



edit: its a 91 hatch if that matters

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

Are honda windscreens bonded in?

My mates and i have replaced a few windscreens now, go down to a scrapyard with a pack of razor blades and cut the seal away, then push out the glass.

Getting the screen in is different for different cars, if honda's are bonded in, its a pro job really (though you can buy the bonding compound). On cars where its not bonded, using string, washing up liquid and some water, you can sorta pull the seal out of the way as you push in the replacement screen.

Damn too bad you are no where near me. I got a connection for brand new glass. I had to replace the windshield on my EJ1 and it cost me $120 canadian with a tube of urethane, guy even dropped it off..

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

cant think of any places around us tweek. Got my pops rig replaced and the dodge's replaced, and both were factory buys.

On a side note, if you do it yourself most are a bitch to get in

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

most glass shops should have them. my work deals with tons all over the world. for rv windshields, van conversion glass. there is most likely a safelite auto glass around your area, i would call them, or harmon auto glass.

Junkyard + long razor knife + piano wire= windshield.

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

would a reputable installer put in a used peice of glass?? there are a few EF's at the yard near here


there is a safelite here but they also said dealer only

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

harbor freight sells a kit to remove windsheilds

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

i can get it out, installing it might be a problem. i dont have the slightest clue as to how to do it

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

There are a coulpe junkyards somewhat close to you where you may be able to find one. Crazy Ray's has two locations. One in Baltimore and one in Jessup. They have very good rates and i think they even pull windshields for you.

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

Install your gonna need a friend to help for sure and find out what the hell they use to seal the glass I think its do able

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

91 hatch is bonded in, you will most probly need new outer trims or clips because they will break on removal, Ive done a few, I work for a Windscreen company, Personally i think it isnt a DIY job, after all, the windsheild is part of the cars structure!

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

well if you can do it, can't he?

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

I do it as a day job, 6 screens a day for the last 9 years, thats like saying "hes a heart surgern, if he can do it anyone can"

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

thats differen ,lol, in so many ways. did you gog to school for 6-8 years to install a windshield? i'm guessing about 2-5days worth of training

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

2 months, You get the idea tho, ::)

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

i say go for it with a junkyard peice, if you car flips your fuct anyway ;D

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

Damn, I had a 91 Hatch glad I decided not to replace the glass before I got rid of it. I have a 95 Del Slo, know if it is the same way?

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

Couple people I have known have done their own. Mixed results.

My uncle owns a glass company, so I have never had to mess around with that ----. Cost of glass, and free install. Can't beat it with a stick.

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

Comes down to skill level imo. It totally doable just comes down to get the right materials and prep work


hell google it some cheap bastard had to do a write up on this

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

for sure

Gotta make sure you prep everything correctly. You can buy small amounts of the chemicals in a kit on eBay I think. Right tools also help.

Get yourself a long stick that holds a utility blade. Also called a pipe knife.

To remove the glass get yourself this:

Re: where to buy a windsheild
 

good news and bad.

i called the safelite national number and they said they can get the glass, but the only location that is near me is the ones that told me they couldnt get the glass.
