Where did you guys get your glass? Looking to do this my self, saw one on ebay for 149.00 free shipping! Thanks team!

I do almost everthing on my cars myself. But when it came to the windshield and back glass installation on the 69 and the 75, I let a pro do it. I was not looking for date coded glass. I had PPG glass installed. $130.00 for the windshield and $110.00 for the back glass for the 69, installed. Just a thought.

Your local auto glass place can supply you with a windshield for a First Gen.
I'd have them install it as well.

If you're looking for date-correct, try Pilkington Classics: http://www.pilkington.com/the+americas/usa/english/automotive/agr/pilkington+classics/default.htm

Been a couple of years since I priced glass at local auto glass shop, but prices above sound about right for replacement glass ( not date coded ).

Got mine from Rick's for $149, it's a Hugger Performance piece. I put it in myself and wouldn't do it again. I had a heck of a time with the whole thing and it ended up taking me much longer than I thought it would. It would have been better if i had another person helping me though!

about $130 to $150 is the going price on a windsheild , I have always put my own windsheilds in and out but for some reason nobody want's to do it themselves ? I have never understood that ?

Putting in windshields is a snap. Especially tape set ones like these. Takes 10 minutes tops.

Installing the front and rear glass on the first gens isnt overly difficult. It really helps to have a helper. Probably would also help to have those large suction cups w/handles like the pro installers use.

Now the type thats on the 67-72 chevy trucks, thats a different story. Not even the pro installers want to go near those.

good morning guys and merry Christmas i put in new glass just a few months ago i did it myself with help from my wife .i bought undated glass from ricks it came very well protected i was very happy with the looks of the glass but anyways my 67 coupe just was painted so all the surfaces where in good shape i cleaned the surfaces that the windows where going to be sealed then i painted the seal surface with POR 15 (on the car) i put a moving blanket in the car in front of the windsheld layed the window on it i put the windshild in place without seal dry fit adjusted the bottom stops for the window for the back i dry fitted theres two rubber blocks that come with the bead sealant i put those in i did this to see where the seal will go removed the windows the bead seal comes on a row with paper on it i put in all the trim clips in first when putting the seal down try not to push it down when you pull the paper off try not to touch the surface the will make contact with the window if you have to push the seal down what i did way squezze the sides of the seal to make it taller so that it will make contact then i cleaned the inside of the window as many times as it takes i used alcohol for the final cleanin the seal area with my wifes help we placed the windows in .I gently pushed them down working from the center top outwards and down it realy isnot hard to do .just take your time and by the way it was august and hot so the seal was warm i dont suggest you do this in winter here anyways and i have had the (PRO'S) CHANGE windows in my wifes car and my truck wy wifes still leaks and they broke the trucks twice i allso think they use substandard glass so thay werent touching my 67 i hope this helps Tony

? HUH? the only way to install a windsheild is by yourself !!! a helper on a windsheild will almost make sure it will be broke , setting it in by yourself you can just look at the edge and sit it right in , with a helper once it touch's the tape wrong it's hard to fix after that ,

the chevy truck winsheilds are even easier that the glue strip ones on camaros , chevy pickups have a rubber strap you just wrap a string around them and pull the string ?? they are the easiest ones ever to put in most windsheild glass guy's love them cause it only takes a minute ,

I ended up going thru City Glass who subcontracts to a company in Isanti Minn. that does date coding on your glass needs. Its an option to consider calling around locally. Here is old thread on it:

GM windshields and backlites were NEVER installed with butyl tape - it won't pass FMVSS impact standards. They were installed with Thiokol pumpable adhesive, later replaced by 2-part "improved" Thiokol, then later by pumpable urethane adhesive.
