Need windshield installed Tampa FL area - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

The only way that I can get these repro or NOS windshields installed is if I agree to hold the installer harmless if something goes wrong.
Why would anyone want to risk having to replace a $2,000.00 windshield in order to make a few hundred dollars.
Most have said to me just too much risk.
I have used my regular glass company to do a number of them, but we agreed in advance that if the glass breaks during install or afterwards, that I will not hold him responsible.
I know the installer does high quality work, but things do happen.
We have in fact, had one windshield crack during install.
That was an expensive day.
You may have to offer similar terms in order to find someone willing to do it.
If it were a typical $250.00 piece of glass, no one would have a problem with it, but $2,000.00?
I don't chase those opportunities too much anymore. I will do one for a good or long time customer, but that is about all anymore.
Good luck in your search!!!

Try to find a local shop that does restorations. They will probably have a shop to recommend. Nobody will guarantee the glass if broken during install. Drive it to my shop in Texas ans You and I can install.

Did you try the vette shop on Dale Mabry ? Ask Mike or Jennifer , if they don't do it there , they may tell you who to contact .
