WTB: windshield for 78 bug convertible - that and cowl

« on: February 19, 2004, 11:03:41 PM »
welp...I broke my windshield on my bug, and I am hoping someone has one for really cheap. I'm kinda running over budget and wanting to get it cheap, and I'd really like to get the pieces together. Thanks.

I think you can forget the "cheap" part.  LOL  I use Grants Auto Glass for my needs. I think Anthony uses a place up in Hixson but you will not find one cheap. Alvin Vaughn down in Dalton might have a used one and Mr Guinn in Chickamauga might have a used one.

                                   GOOD LUCK!!

Convertible windshields are expensive!!

You can find them fairly cheap (that's relitive to a new car windshield) in the magizines, but most places that sell them won't ship them and most of them are in California.

BUT . . . I got a brand spanking new windshield for Joy's 75 convertible at FL. Bug Jam for $80!!!  That's more than half what they normally cost IF you can find one.  He had them priced at $90 but took $80 in a heartbeat.  I got the first one out of a case of 5.   I can't think of the guy's name that had them, but he's at almost all the shows in the southeast and the show season is about to start back up . . .

If you want a REALLY CHEAP windshield, as soon as I can get Joy's car in the body shop, I'll be pulling out her used, scratched, and fogged up around the edge windshield.  Is FREE cheap enough for you?  You'll have to wait a few more weeks on it though.

Here's a real deal for you!  Join the Scenic City Volks Folks . . . Then call West Coast Metric and ask for Jim Watson.  Tell him you are a member of the Scenic City Volks Folks in Chattanooga, TN.  Tell him you need a deal on TWO windshield seals for your car.  Send me one of the seals and you can have my old windshield now.  You might even be able to talk me into helping you install it if you were a club member . . .  :)

I'll even guarantee it against cracking.  If it cracks, I'll give you your money back.
