I need a windshield for my 54 3100 and they have the clear windshield for $129. I am skeptical because the next lowest price I see is &179. A lot of places want $224 RPS windshield

I buy from Bob's Classic Auto Glass. He has allowed me to pick up the glass at a nearby Pilkington warehouse. No shipping. I see he has a tinted 54. $255. Call Bob's in Oregon and see if you can pick it up in KY. He can supply the rubber, at a small discount, from Steele Rubber Co.

One supplier in China all the vendors are using. You can always have a local glass shop cut the glass for you.

The wholesale price of glass is amazing inexpensive.............retail price is all over the board. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 1,101 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 1,101 | I went with ClassicParts.com. I took advantage of their Labor Day 10% off and I have don a lot of business with them in the past. Trusted vendor. I found some reviews on google and it looks like Restoration Parts Service (RPS) is a one man operation and can sometimes take a long time to get your items shipped. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 1,101 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2016 Posts: 1,101 | BIG sticker shock. I just received the quote for shipping on my $170 windshield. $169.

They have two of the windshields in stock and one was spoken for..........guessing that might be you. I bought the other one and I'm picking it up Friday. I was already going to the Kansas City Reunion and after reading your post and that of others decided to save myself some money by picking one up. Windshields cost a plenty with shipping , some vendors are as high as $575 with freight. You may want to regroup and consider Bartamos supplier ?

Same supplier Bartamos suggested. I checked prices on the web with Bob's Classic Auto Glass. Price with shipping was more than Classic Parts by about $30. I am waiting for Bob's to open so I can check to see if there is a pickup location a reasonable distance from me for pick up.
