While trying to replace the wiper blades, The wiper arm slipped out of my hand and smacked the windshield cracking it! Whats the best source to replace this? I have a '86 944 N/A. It has the antenna inside.

I did the same exact thing a few years ago...I went to Safelight. Your insurance should cover it.

let me know if you're local and need a new windshield.

Go to Safelight........have them install an early "non" antenna windshield......installed it should be less then $300.......if you have AAA I think the discount will net to around $240.

Or you can have the one with the antenna installed for about $800.

A windshield wiper did that? Man, do I feel secure about road debris.

i was just looking at all the chips in mine today

when ever i change wiper blades i always leave the arms down and only lift them as much as needed

good luck with hunting one down

I had the windshield replaced on my '86 a few months ago. It was $300 (no antenna, since it's a track car) and looks fantastic. The installer did a very conscientious and careful job.

The PO did the same windshield wiper crack before I got my car

i haven't replaced the windshield in my 944, but i had the windshield replaced in my 92 Camry last october. i went with Safelite and they were fast and the installer did an awesome job! i'd recommend them to anyone!

Had a local windshield installer install one in my 85.5 last winter, with antenna installed at my house cost less than $500

Yes......"a windshield wiper arm can do that"

I was installing new wiper blades, the arm slipped out of my hand.....and it put a perfect circular crack about the size of a baseball where the arm impacted the glass.

I got my glass replaced at 20th street auto (porsche junkyard) they installed including glass for like $200 IIRC

what wiper blades are you guys using?

BlackOp

Not the blade...the arm. I had mine extended while I was changing the blade and the wind blew back into position..looked like a bullet hole.

ALWAYS put towel on your windshield when changing your blades..

nasty9er

what i am asking is what blades where you going to put on your car befor you screwed up.....
