A '62 has to get back on the road

[Braunschweiger]

Today was a sad day, I tried to install my windshield together with a friend, but the windshield absolutely wouldn't slide in, then an ugly noise and a crack, that's it. Now I have to buy a new windshield first, I'm sad and had to drink a beer first.

Es tut mir leid, diesen Bericht zu sehen.

das ist super scheiße und ich würde auch in mein bier heulen.

Wenn Sie versichert sind, könnten Sie einen Anspruch haben, um es einfacher und billiger zu machen.

Viel Glück trotzdem

That is unfortunate.

Not a cheap item I suspect, but at least you can find one.

My screen is new and has been laying on top of a wardrobe for 7 years.

I hope it fits when the time comes.

Was it an original windshield or a replacement? Reason I ask is I have the original in my 62 and when I pulled it to replace the gasket it was a pain to re install. I actually had to hire a glass guy to install it and he said the replacement windshields are thinner and the gaskets are made for replacements not originals. So to use a replacement gasket with an original windshield is very hard to install.

That's a good tip, I'll check it out. There is a difference in the seals, which were installed, are significantly softer than those from Precision, I cleaned and prepared them first, a new windshield is on the way.
