  1. Yeah, I'm gonna pay to have it installed, I have to finish some corrosion repair I'm doing above the wiper motor, I read that this is a common problem area, the rust will expand and eventually crack the windshield. Thank you all for your advice –Art
  2. 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! Thanks –Art
  3. Yeah, I'm thinking about paying someone to do it, thanks for the replys.
  4. Hi, I'm wondering what the best procedure is for installing a windshield, I have the factory manual and it says there's a dam to install? Is this necessary,I've seen just the urethane being used on some installs. It has taken me forever to get this windshield and i don't want to screw it up!
  5. 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
  6. 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?
  7. I hope this is helpful to someone.seats
  8. 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
  9. If anyone has a lead on a windshield here in Florida I would appreciate the help. I've got an 1986 Conquest. Thanks –Art
  10. Has the windshield been sold? I live in Central florida if anyone has one they could let go.
