Well, it finally happened after 18 years. A rock cracked the windshield on the 944 today. It came out of nowhere and caught me completely off guard. I'm afraid to even start shopping glass shops for an afforable replacement. I'll probably have to opt for aftermarket glass, SOLEX perhaps, due to the high cost of OEM. Anybody ever try this job at home?

 

Hey Terry,
Looks like we are both in the same boat - bought my 88 944S with what looks like a rock crack in the front windscreen. PO had never bothered to replace it - so now I am looking for a replacement, but have the added difficulty of living in Hawaii!! Not many 944 replacement windscreens here I bet....anyway, let me know how you get on with prices and such I would be very interested to know what info you find out. I also heard that perhaps car insurance company may pay for a replacement? Is this true?

I have a $500 deductible on the insurance with no provisions on glass. So, I haven't even considered the insurance company. Haven't had a chance to check prices yet. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed in the meantime.
