Does anyone have a windshield for a classic? Mine cracked the other day and I figure I'll try here before I call an auto glass place.

No windshield here, but what kind of crack do you have? Those auto glass places really can work wonders, provided the damage is small and fairly new. I've heard enough stories of the seals never being *quite* right after a windshield replacement, so I would certainly recommend trying a repair first. P.S. Check your PM's please... thanks

Up through the 70's, winshield replacement was likely to produce leaks. But nowadays there should be no problems at all. The seals and the methods of replacement are pretty much foolproof.

Well, the crack started small on the drivers side, approx 3 inches, now it is about 6-7 inches and made a turn going up towards the roof. Its not obstructing my view but kinda irritating. I found a place locally that will replace it with a new one for $220. I checked into the repair before it got to large and that was $70, so I am just going to have it replaeced in spring unless I can come up with a used one.

Check with your insurance company too... glass repair/replacement is covered under Comprehensive (no fault) in most cases, and your deductible may be less than $220.

I checked that out already, I'm in wisconsin so glass replacement is not covered 100% it is subject to the deductible and mine is $500. So I am just going wait it out and see what happens. but thanks for the suggestions
