BLKMGK Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 Evan, check with the local glass shops. My local shop got me a new windshield for about that amount no problem. I was quite shocked to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KraZ4spd Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 He's right. If you can "feel" the scratch it is to deep to polish out. Victoria British sells a replacement for $100.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KraZ4spd Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Some body told me about some stuff called Jeweler's Rouge. It is used to polish presious stones. They said i works good on auto glass. I've never bought it or ever tried it, but I plan too when i get to that stage of the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Anyone know what hatch glass runs? My defrog is toast and while I could mask off and "paint" new lines with the repair stuff a new piece would be smartest (and straight!). Does it cost much or is it "cheap" like the windshield? Quarter glass is a dime a dozen if you watch E-Bay for long, I've even got a spare set or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Yes, check out your local glass shop - Guardian Auto Glass came to my house and installed (yes - installed at my house) a brand new tinted windshield for $106. I did however, provide the new rubber seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Wow, I guess I lucked out getting a perfect entire hatch along with a vented hood (the ones on '77 and '78 280Z's), some of the rare wheels, a set of quarter windows, an entire set of chrome trim, a front bumber, and a BIG box of assorted Z related goodies for $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
