Hi all,

Rock trashed the windshield on my 86 Targa Saturday, I am getting a new windshield installed this week, Insurance is covering it and I am having a company that did a great job on my 951 install the glass and replace the seal.

They are using factory Porsche glass and seal, anything else I should look out for?

Thanks!

 

nope...front windshield replacement is pretty easy and straight forward (just talked to porsche people who put in my front windshield and targa glass about 4 weeks ago). Now, if you were replacing the rear targa glass...that is another story!

 

I'm waiting (hoping) for my windshield to get trashed so I can install my new dash.

 

Marc,

Sounds like you're all set!

 

That makes 3 windshields that i know of that got trashed at Lime Rock this weekend!

 

I just did my shield and rear window, etc..

- I would/did use 3M Windo-Weld 999 sealant at least one week after install. one month is better.
- I would not drive it for at least 24hrs after install.
- I would use Por-15 on any frame rust
- I would install gasket on window at least 24hrs before install.
- I would check operation of antenna and glass wire heater after install.
- I would confirm the glass mfg. because Sigla was bought out by LOF
- I would confirm gasket outer lip is spaced/seated properly to the tub.

 

I just picked up my car this morning from the glass shop. I didn't realize how pitted my old windshield was until looking thru my nice new one. A pleasant surprise, a sigla glass was installed.And I checked for a gap or a misfit in upper left corner but everything looks even. ric
