ihscout54 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yes safelite had them 2 years ago when i had mine done. They also had the gaskets. The lock/trim is not available so they had to float the glass in sealant. This is not how these were meant to be installed so they gave me some greif and would not warrenty the install from leaks.

turbosubarubrat Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) What other models swap windshields with the Gen2 Brat? Anybody ha luck finding a new one? Every second gen sedan, wagon, hatch, coupe, and brat. I've had 3 put in where they drive out to your house and put in a new windshield with trim insert for $150-200.

Dinky26 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks, going to look at a Brat tomorrow for the possibility of parts car, for front glass and AC we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman2 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 A windshield that old is tough to remove in one piece. The gasket will be bonded to it pretty good. Also the glass will most likely be etched by sand and grit so it sparkles so to speak when the sun hits it making it tough to see out of. I would opt for a new windshield myself. Replaced mine in 01 with new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The windshields are still available new and are fairly cheap. If the trim is not, you can use windshield trim from mid to lat 70's Chevy trucks. It's a little bigger, so you have to be creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethrro Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Not sure if the glass is different between the brat and hatch but I replaced mine Christmas this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
