Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

Yes, Phillips is the guy who has made several small runs (25 units at a time) of the 55/56 Caribbean windshield with tint band. They go for $1000 - $1200 plus crating and shipping. I have one bought some years back, quality and fit was excellent.

I also bought one from Philips and have it stored till I'm ready to swap the new one in. Owen said it was an easy job and I should be able to do it by myself.

it is so bad with the windshield thing that i am buying a 51 patrician parts car. ( that i believe is the same part) just for the windshield . i was told buy BigKev and others on this site that it is the same.

the replacement is a bit tricky but can be done with one person but it helps to get somebody to help setting the glass in.
soapy water and the rope trick is essential. the Packard Manual says how to do it.

and per previous postings the trim is a bit of a problem too to get to set back on...

good luck. let us know how it goes!!
