windshield

[theSOB]

so i am in desperate need of a new windshield. one just popped up on craigslist for $68 but he has it listed as a sedan windshield. is there any difference for the coupe? i thought they were the same

[wherm]

I just went onto MajesticHonda.com and tried a 91 lx coupe and sedan and part numbers were different for the windshields. I would guess that they are different, without measuring, I'd assume that a coupe windshield is probably taller and slants back further than a sedan. That's my guess...Pretty good price though.

Another thing, if you have insurance on your car, look into Comprehensive.

Comprehensive covers broken glass. Just gotta pay the deductable.

damn that sucks. i've been waiting over a year for this cuz i haven't had a lot of money

[wherm]

Yea, glass is expensive. I bought a new windshield after I painted my car. My friend does autoglass so I got a hookup, but it was still about $150 or more.

[theSOB]

ya, and with paying for a bisi header, some mild head work, good suspension, and school, not much left over for windshield

[wherm]

how bad is it?

[theSOB]

not sure if there's a good pic on my mr thread, but there's a link in my sig. basically 3 cracks that go all the way across. and an odd circle crack at the top that's about 3" in diameter. i'm not allowed at the track until i get it replaced

[theSOB]

bump, anyone second that the coupe is different than the sedan?

[theSOB]

bump for comparison please

if i remember correctly it is different, when i had mine replaced the company asked me like 10 times if i had a sedan, i think because they thought it could work in the past with bad results.

have you tried to talk to your insurance company, in some cases its covered, mine was and it was only $68.

well if u buy the glass at a jy its only like 50 dollars u jus need to find sum1 to put it in

Most glass places will come to you and install brand new glass for about $200. I've done it in the CB7 and the 93 Cavalier that I had before the CB.

I would much rather pay a little extra for new glass, installed professionally... than pay just a little less for used glass, and risk having it installed improperly. If it leaks, the electrical stuff behind your dash could be damaged... and that would result in a much greater expense, and a LOT more work to correct!

Lazy noobs!

What, the guy typing like a retard, or me saying a DIY windshield replacement is a bad idea? (I'd say you're right on both counts... )
