Windshield source in Canada
Help.....
I cannot locate anybody sourcing a windshield for a S4, in Canada.
Except for the $1350.00 dealership unit, of course!
Have any of my fellow Canuck's had the "opprotunity" to find one?

Brian...........I checked with various Canadian sources and got the same response.
There's an outfit in Calgary I'm going to check with......Reigel Tuning; have you checked with them?

Malcolm.... no I haven't... I will though.
heinrich, that's the next option......... I just don't understand how PPG up here says they don't make them, and the Rennlist is packed with fellows who say that's where they got them from!

To be honest Brian I bought two new Porsche ones a year or so ago and still have them, haven't had time to replace .... but I had a hell of a time getting them here, not that I doubt people's word, it's just that I paid 3x what others say they pay and I got a steal.

Brian............my car has a non-Porsche windshield that was probably installed in Calgary. Unfortunately my car is in the garage at home as we suffer through this most recent snow. I'll have the SO check and let you know.

I had Diamond Glass drop-ship me one out of Portland or Seattle, for my '86 car... I was just hoping for something a bit more rational this time.

VSGWD
Hopefully that helps!

Relevant earlier thread:

In the US, my local installer have had aftermarket glass for under $300. In both cases they were from non-US companies. One was PGI (Australian) and the other was Pilkington. Others claim Safelite prtovides glass as well.
Just keep calling auto glass installers until you find one that has it. Many of them will give you bad information, but eventually you will find one that actually has the glass. A shop less than 10 miles from my house had it in-stock.
