Hi everyone, I need to find both door windows for my 71. Ideally I'd like to find new clear glass. Everywhere I look they are out of stock.
One vendor said backordered maybe 3 or 4 weeks which to me means "who the hell knows, it will get here someday".
Does anyone know who has any in stock ready to ship????

| If you have the old glass just take them to an auto glass shop and they can cut you some, it's just flat safety glass. |

| I also purchased some from EIS. Nice quality and kind of expensive. If i recall correctly there was a large glass shipping surcharge. |

EIS has none and as far as finding someone to cut new glass I'm in Florida, I might as well be on the dark side of the moon....
Thanks for the replies. If anyone knows who has them let me know.

I don't recall EVER seeing any Ghia with flat glass!
Some glass shops have trouble cutting curved, tempered glass.

Hey Darrel, my passenger side is in pretty good shape but the driver's side has years of metal gauging to the point it's unrepeatable. I guess it never bothered the PO.
If you can check the driver's side you have I would really appreciate it but I'm worried about how it would ship here... I heard that neither UPS nor FedEx will ship them but I don't know for sure. Let me know.
I'm trying to get all the glass thermal tinted before I mount them back in.

If you replace the curved with flat and put on dual carbs you will gain 10 mph top end.
