Need a new windshield | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hello, rock came up and damaged the windshield to the point that it can't be repaired. Does anyone know where I can order a new windshield? Live in NJ but I am working with a glass repair facility so they order the windshield and have it shipped if needed. It is covered by my insurance.

Call Carey at Special Edition , a windshield is shipped in a special carton that keeps it safe.

The glass place will more than likely have no idea as to the old school installation process, ( it's out of most shop's Wheelhouse) there is also a windshield installation thread on the SOC how to do it. You can also PM me for details and or have to shop get in touch with me.

Hi Alan, thank you for the response, do you have an address or telephone number for Special Edition?

Like Alan, I've bought and installed half a dozen of their windshields. Great quality, decent pricing and lots of support if you need it.

Alan and I wrote the windshield install article on this forum and we can get you through installing a new one.

Is there a “standard” number in the Glass dealer books for 356 windows ?
