Windshield and Gasket Source

[maharaja]

Looking for a current source for an untinted (clear) windshield and gasket. Did a search on the site and found nothing current.

Thanks!

I'm on the hunt for replacement CLEAR glass myself, for my 1969 '02.

 

I can offer genuine BMW seals ($126.00) and the chrome bead strip ($53.00) and YES! Genuine BMW CLEAR glass for $349.00...but I'm currently searching for a less expensive local source for "Pilkington" brand glass so that I don't have to pay big shipping costs, for my own car. It is CRUCIAL to use factory seals, but I've had decent luck with aftermarket glass, regarding fit and sealing capabilities. 

 

If you need the seal(s) - we have them!

We can also offer CLEAR glass... but shipping can get expensive depending on your location from the East Coast.

WN has the clear windshield for $158 + shipping. Shipping could be expensive so contact them and get a quote

My experience is that many local USA auto glass shops have aftermarket glass for roughly $200.....that's what I'm hoping to find. The green tint stuff is easy....still calling locally to find CLEAR, however. At $158 I'm pretty confident that the W&N stuff is not genuine BMW.

Windshieldstogo.com supplies Pilkington glass. Easy to look up who the local distributor is on their site or a local warehouse location for pickup.. Current price in my location is $234. I've had good experiences with them.

They have only tinted ones in their system...but they have one 11 miles from my home right now! I really want clear...but the price for the green tinted one is tempting! Thanks for the tip!

Timely. I just looked into the WN windshield and the shipping costs were almost as much as the glass itself. Pass.

 

@rms_sandiego Thanks for the tip. I'll check out the site today.

How about local glass installers?   I've always had success and great service.  They all have the same catalogs from Pilkington, PPG etc.

The last new OEM green windshield that I saw was made by Pilkington.  Only difference is the little BMW logo on the OEM one when compared with generic Pilkington.

I'm also looking for a clear windshield.  So far, I have only been able to find green ones locally (Seattle).  I checked with the local BMW dealer today - $628 for a clear one...

 

If anyone finds a source for clear aftermarket windshields, please let us know.

$628.00???? For local pick-up? Geez! I could deliver a Genuine BMW one from the East coast to you for less!

Cost from us: $353.00 plus maybe $160 in shipping charges.

Crazy huh?  Their pricing seems to be all over the place.  The other parts guy there is very old car parts friendly, maybe I should have waited to ask him.

Anyone else needing clear windscreen? Picked up a newly restored car today and the windscreen was a revelation form my blasted  1600
