    Any glass shop that cuts glass can cut a windshield for you,it is just flat glass. Chk with your local glass companies.

    Sorry to hear that, I'm sure there is more to that story.

    Local glass guy can cut one, unless you want a factory piece.

    Good luck.

    Wow, that is really awful! So sorry, but now you can get a cool piece of glass and have a clean fresh view of the road. Must try to think positive... if possible.

    Sorry to hear that. We've had alot of local glass shot out by local punks with BB guns. Wonder if the Dad's own glass shops? Just sayin. Anyway, one of the best features of the earlies is flat glass, cut to fit. Here in the DC area, because there is little enforcement of anything but speeding and running reds, trucks haul what they want uncovered. Glass replacement is about as normal as tire replacement. I should probably be a glass installer.

    Good luck, Mark

    Be sure and check around, the first shop I went to wanted $290, I checked out 3 or 4 more shops and had one made for $80.

    Hello Russel,

    You are down the freeway a bit do you remember the name of the glass shop?
    I found two in Temecula and they wanted $300.

    As for the story behind the story. My van was parked at a complex where there are several car focused shops. Perhaps one of them P.O.'d a person and they were taking revenge.

    You're in Murrieta, Call my buddy Kelly Ferris Mobile windshield 951-323-6069, Tell him that Tim Manning told you to call him, he'll give you a good deal...... I hope!!!
    Or call my other buddy Allen Auto Glass ask for Drew 951-652-0500 and tell him the same
