I'm looking for a new glass windshield. Someone told me about a place near Columbus, Ohio, that carries Sunbeam windshields, anyone know the name of the business?

We bought two from VB, both had to be trimmed to fit the frames. Great price and very good packaging.

The one that I bought fit perfectly using Rick's seal. Did you also buy the seal from them? If so, the fit issue might have been the seal and not the glass. I was told by quite a few people that the seal they sell is not good and that I should not buy theirs.
 
I bought a seal and windshield from VB ( on sale for $100 :eek: ) and had it stored at the glass shop for almost a year...yes, great packaging but the shop still managed to break it !! It got turned into an insurance job and a Triplex windshield ( same as Rick sells ) was acquired on their dime. The seal from VB was just a length of rubber with what I'm assuming was a correct profile... I didn't like the looks of it and the insurance was now springing for a new seal also so I bought one from Rick. It was a quality piece !! A continuous loop with molded corners and all fit together quite nicely.Another bonus ( Hey, you just never know for sure 'til you look ) was that the frame was perfect under the old seal with no rust or paint missing. :cool:

I got mine fron Rick at SS. IIRC I had a choice of glass with and without the original manufactures bug (there was a price difference). I also bought the seal from SS. I liked what I got.

BTW I have an extra windshield that has some arc scratches from a PO apearantly turning on the wipers with no rubber :eek: if anybody needs one pm me.
 
The seal was from SS and the glass shop had to trim the top corner of the glass--they took a pic to show me, it was too high. We let VB know, all is good.
