Re: NOS ZR-1 IR blocker windshields
My 90 could really use one, but my budget isn't quite the "collector" car budget ;-).

Re: NOS ZR-1 IR blocker windshields
Much as I'd like a "Z" windshield, for $280 installed, Safelite put a base mo. (L98) in a black Z in Marc's shop. Until then, I really hadn't noticed how nasty my original "Z" windshield - even tho the delam was only about 1-1/2 or so wide, looks in comparison.
Apparently, the delam (or something!) is affecting how my entire Z windshield actually looks (besides the cracks, that is ). That new windshield was strikingly beautiful! It was the clarity that I noticed right away; so crystal clear throughout with a perfect factory like tint that ran evenly all the way to the edges of the glass...Imagine that! Even if $$ wasn't tight, (restoring the nose and painting the whole car) after seeing that "new" windshield at Marc's (Scottfab forgive me) I wouldn't have any qualms about going with a standard windshield. I'd avoid the possibility of future delam starting all over again - there was that much difference in appearance - and not have a heart attack when a rock "snapped" the glass while driving down the road. Assuming I have her all put back together in time for BG, y'all can have a look and you can be the judge. Just a thought.

I think its the other way around. The early 90-92 windshields are more narrow than the 93-95's.

Re: NOS ZR-1 IR blocker windshields
I am with Paul. After some thinking, I am going with a standard windshield. My car has close to 80k on the clock and is not a NCRS candidate. It is a fine driver, which is why I bought the car. To drive it!!

Re: NOS ZR-1 IR blocker windshields
I purchased an original ZR-1 type windshield from a guy in Texas in 2003. It was shipped to me in a wooden crate that framed the windshield but left it exposed. It arrived without issue.
In 2007 I shipped the windshield still in the wooden crate to Mike Ebert in Louisiana via Fed Ex and it arrived without issue. Freight to me was $129, freight to Louisiana via Fed Ex was around $175 if I recall correctly.

Re: NOS ZR-1 IR blocker windshields
I'll tell you what.. If someone found a bunch of good windshields, or if, WAY BETTER YET, we found a company that would make high quality reproductions for us, and if the price was "right"...
I would volunteer (ok registry please partially reimburse me) to haul all Registry member's windshield purchases with loving care in my enclosed car trailer, across Minnesota and maybe even Wisconsin, Iowa, or South Dakota, on their way to their new owners. For the "cause" I bet we could find other ZR-1 owner/Registry members to "carry the torch" so to speak in getting the windshields from east coast to west coast, north or south. For perfect, high quality reproductions, (at a discount only to Registry members), I am sure that there would be many people who would help in this endeavor??!! Right!?? What do you guys think? Windshield reproduction group buy?? |

Re: NOS ZR-1 IR blocker windshields
Taking it further, even though Pilkington, has no obligation for past defective LOF windshields, I think we should approach them first to make them for us.
I am sure they would make money at it and their good will in "stepping up to the plate" would, I am sure go a long way too. Tell me that with todays advanced technology, that they can't make something better than LOF did 20+ years ago...I've never seen a Pontiac Transport windshield delaminate. |
