the risk of living in the nation's capital: some low life kids rocked the windshield on my 62 valiant signet v200 2dr. now it has five one-inch star clusters. permatex bullseye did a decent job of fixing them (i like their old repair kit better than the new one). but the day will come soon when i need new glass.

any suggestions on sources?

As long as you don't care about date codes, they are still available.
Just called my glass supplier. My cost is $340.00 for the glass and about $100.00 shipping (never paid shipping on glass before so I assume this glass is out of the country :shock: )

You should be able to call your local installer and they will get it for you (plus their outrageous markup :evil: )

I had to replace mine too. Just keep looking and looking. I lucked out and found a guy who parted out a Valiant. $250 including shipping. :D

Those are still available in the normal glass supply system although they are getting a little harder to find. Your local glass shop should be able to fix you up but it might take a few days and it won't be cheap.

He packaged it superbly, and he sent it via Greyhound. Very cheap to send large items.
