CMC Windshield Options and Fitment

I replaced my CMC windshield with one from the Beck folks.

As did I. Go to Beckspeedster.com and get the phone number.  You'll probably talk to Brad Weis who can set you up.

Beck is much closer to Pittsburg, PA.  The further it's shipped - the more risk of it being damaged.  A local auto glass shop may be able to order one too.

I have done five Speedster windshields using new glass from Carey Hines at Beckspeedster.com  Three were CMC and two were older Vintage cars.  Carey's guys do a great job of packing the glass for shipping and they arrived blemish free.  It's a big box, so there's an extra shipping charge for the bulk, but it's not too dear.

All of them fit perfectly on all cars I did.  I would suspect that glass from Vintage Motorcars would fit as well, but I have not used any from Greg.  

I have also documented (with help from Alan Merklin) the process to replace the glass, whether you do it, or you take it to a glass shop, here:

With insurance paying replacement cost - you may want to look into having Beck install it.  Looks like a 5 hr drive from Pittsburg to Bemen.  You may need new rubber if yours is old and dried out.  I'd be leary of having even a windshield professional install - having never installed one before.  I suspect if they break one you supplied - you'd have to supply another.

It is well worth touring their facility and seeing other cars in the process of being built!

A Glass shop will have little to no clue as to how to install a replacement speedster windshield. it's a delegate dance and needs to be done in a specific order with specific torques on the posts and center mirror rod. Do read the windshield post Gordon and I did, following the instructions you can do it yourself. Either myself or Gordon can answer your questions,  pm either of us.
