My 92 had delamination around the edges, not too bad. Replaced it after a stone put a crack in it with one of the $2500 ZR-1 aftermarket replacements with the cutout. Insurance paid for it after a 2 month battle of explaining that they have to replace factory spec if available and yes it is aftermarket, not OEM. If OEM they wanted me to pay the difference but I was able to prove that this is what they had to provide.

Isn't it true that an original ZR-1 windshield can cost upwards of $ 3,000 dollars? My 91 came with a replacement windshield...

I do not believe any original ZR-1 windshields are available but there is aftermarket clone with the correct cutout available at a cost of around $2500. A regular C4 windshield which will also fit but without the cutout is less than $500

Upon replacing my WS, I found many places that were willing to make the attempt on my C4. But, don't be surprised when they find out it is a C4 Corvette; many WS installation sources will not do a C4 (I found).

Safelite installed my (standard C4) WS, but I had to goto a specific (brick and mortar) location where a person experienced with C4s was located and would do the job.

I have a 1991 with delamination. About an inch coming from the edges. Passed Virgina Safety Inspection ok last fall.
Will leave as is if it stays contained.

94 has substantial delam. Sold a 91 last year with the same. New owner replaced with a standard C4 windshield.

Thanks for sharing. What were the pieces you couldn’t locate for the replacement?

Most likely these were to 3 pieces of exposed trim going around the WS. At one point I bought all 3 piece,almost $900, for the 3 pieces and 2 of the 3 were of such poor quality I got a refund on them but still have one side piece somewhere. It’s very difficult to get this aluminum trim off the car without destroying it but it is possible.

You’re welcome. Yes, just as Jeff said it was those three pieces of metal trim around the windshield. I was not able to find new and mine were perfect so I just told the installers to carefully replace. They did a great job in saving it and reusing.
