the sucker king Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 they are very hard to find. Last new one I found 5 years ago from a guy on the east coast who bought and liquidated a warehouse full of glass. Only one he had. I think I paid $180 for the glass and $100 to ship. I might have a used one to sell, let me know if you want to go that route, but I can not move really fast on it so if you need it in a week, count me out. All this is assuming a gen 1 wagon windshield will work in a brat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.C.D. Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I know of two Gen 1 Brats in Omaha that have good glass. That is if they haven't been crushed. Contact davebighia@yahoo.com and let him know Jon from Colorado told you about them. He is a really cool guy. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The Gen 1 wagon will fit the Gen 1 BRAT The 2 door and the 4 door sedan 2 will also. The 2 door hardtop, (GF) and the 2 door coupe, (FE) WILL NOT FIT. I may have a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Contacted that guy but still looking for other options if anyone has one or has a lead. If im going to drop the money for one id like for it to not have any chips or cracks...mine is functional but has 2 big chips and a big crack.

Leeroy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I find it strange these are hard to locate in the US. Basically no windscreens are manufactured in Australia any more, they are simply imported from China. The result is you can get gen 1 windscreens easily.

You're always welcome over here, brother It's amazing how much Gen 1 stuff I've found here in the UK recently - check out this load of metalwork I collected - from a former dealer - just last weekend!

Flatfourever Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hurray, Ebay listing for windshields. He wants $250 plus shipping but he has several listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hmmm... Not exactly cheap but someone must have been reading this thread! eBay windscreen listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Not exactly cheap? $420....not including install. Haha I bet you can find windows for Lambo's cheaper.(doubt it but you know what I mean). I mean I would do 300 and feel like I was getting ripped off...but $420? *sigh*. Maybe if everyone goes on there and submits an offer for $150 they would eventually go down. Edited October 19, 2012 by BlindSight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 also...I noticed they are only asking 160 OBO for the gen2 windshields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
