artman Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 If anyone has a lead on a windshield here in Florida I would appreciate the help. I've got an 1986 Conquest. Thanks –Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I might be stating the obvious and sorry if so, but under FL law, comprehensive auto insurance is required to replace your windshield upon any damage or normal wear and tear as a safety/preventative maintenance issue. I just found out about that and had my Saturn's replaced for free since it had tons of tiny scratches and was horrible at sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 yes this is true i just had the one in my quest replaced however i had to buy my glass because safelite could not find one but my insurance paided me back for it within 24 hours anyways here is one i just ran across http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MITSUBISHI-STARION-2D-LIFTBACK-1983-89-WINDSHIELD-F493-/380310394947?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item588c441843 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artman Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I know about the insurance coverage,thanks though. The car has been uninsured and in the garage for a few years. I have removed the old windshield and can't find a replacement so far, that E-bay listing is a little high by the time you add shipping. I'll keep watching the forums for parts cars and other ads, Thanks for any help Art Edited May 20, 2011 by artman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I can ship one to fla for like 320 total . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarQuestMike Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) I had a glass shop find me one, and it was going to cost me 400, plus another 150-200 to install...it's a grip but they are out there if your shop is willing to look. I think the only reason they found it for me was because I know them, otherwise they would have given up in a heartbeat.

87TsiOwner Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 damn thats spendy, my glass guy up here can get one and install it for $200 and he comes to me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarQuestMike Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah really expensive. I plan on just pulling one from a parts car at some point and having them install it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averse Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 They are required to replace/repair in AZ too, yet Safelight just told me they can not find a replacement glass and will not replace my windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artman Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I finally found a windshield locally ( about 2 hrs away), got lucky and found a clean used one in a salvage yard in Lakeland, Fla. I have been looking for a while and checking back with the same junkyards when one of them gave me the site info that they go to for locating parts across the nation, it's a pretty cool site http://car-part.com/ , gives you all the info you need to locate and contact part supplier, hope this can help someone. Now I'm going through the archives to find the best install method, the seal from the original is still complete and I had bought some 3M windshield weld urethane adhesive to reinstall figuring I can just reset it in the old seal or dam I think it's called. I was told about some sort of windshield kit from advanced auto so now I'm wondering what you all do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strang3majik Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I thought someone found one from another car that is the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artman Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I've never heard of another car using the same windshield as the Conquest/Starion, is that what your saying? Should I completely remove the old dam? The one thread I found appeared to be saying that the bead of urethane is enough. Sorry for the newb questions but I don't want to risk having to do this twice and possibly break it, thanks –Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamipops Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 http://www.car-part.com/ .....check out this site, it sometimes is not updated by the junkyards, but worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artman Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Windshield found!!! Thanks for the help, just trying to figure out how to install. Seems easy enough but I only want to do this once! I have the factory manual but find it easier to understand the laymans terms and pics found here on this site!
