Hi all. Issues of a newbie here... I ordered replacement glass for my driver's side windshield from Vintage Glass in Gainseville, FL, not not knowing there was a difference between the convertible and sedan glass. Well, they sent me glass for the convertible (I have a 2302). Without getting into details (other than I have to strongly suggest you go elsewhere for your glass needs), I have some brand new 22nd/23rd series convertible glass (driver's side only) I'd love to sell. Looking to sell for $85 with shipping included. Feel free to message me directly if you're interested. Thanks, all.

You can have all your glass cut to size and edges polished and just about any glass shop. If one is broken or missing, just use the other side as a template!

Yes I do know, and that's what I initially tried to do. The price I was quoted for just the one window was $140 on the low end, and $180 on the high end from the shops that cut glass in my town (this is Greenville, NC). These vendors like Vintage Glass and and Bob's Class Auto Glass charge about $90 per side (Bob's was actually $65 per side... with shipping added, it made their price comparable to VG). At the time, it just didn't make sense to go the local route, though I certainly would've preferred to have avoided this unpleasantness.

I will say, too, that NONE of the actual auto glass shops in my town cut glass, and none of them will touch the install process, even when everything's provided. I even tried shops in the much more densely-populated Raleigh-Durham area thinking they would have more resources, and came up with nothing but a handful of glass businesses that again wouldn't make good fiscal sense to utilize.

Perhaps it's just the area in which I live, but I suspect this is one of those dying crafts that'll leave only a handful of vendors who handle the work. It's certainly wasn't as easy to figure out as I thought it was going to be...
