FYI,
I know it's not original VW glass, but today I'm having a new front
windshield installed for $145 on the '85 rustfalia. That includes removing
the old cracked windshield, installing the new one and the price of the
windshield! I bought a new seal from Kyle Wade at Volksmotorsports for
$40!!!

> Hey all,
