Replacement Windshields & Windows

C303/TGB owners:
Replacement windshields & windows for your Volvo might be a possibility if there is enough interest. Dave Dunn does replacement windshields & windows with DOT-approved glass for Pinzgauers, Haflingers, & some Mogs. He could also do this with tinted glass if desired. Since he is looking for 5 people who are willing to pre-pay, I'm wondering if anybody else is interested?

Cheers,
Greg

Just for FYI and not to stir up anything,I just had windshield glass cut for my Volvo. Clear glass,laminated, $140 ,Tinted would have been $280. Both pieces are different sizes. Cool to see some life on the Volvo side.

I enjoy hearing what glass shops are charging for these windshields.

The clear is about what I expected. I like the tinted price even more. For that price , I could box and probably pay the shipping anywhere in the US.

Though the Pinz windshield has less area overall than the Volvo, the fact that there are 2 and fit into a box that the brown clowns would have trouble mangling, makes them practical to ship.

.

The next time I'm out at Jim's place, I'll get sizes for pricing.
If there is enough demand, I can proceed with manufacturing.

Anyone need glass for their C303? I need cargo area glass at the minimum. 5 orders are needed for Dave to do the work. Anyone else interested in some new glass for their Volvo C303?

So far, that makes two of us. I posted the same message on the Yahoo Groups site. There were some comments made that would best be addressed by Dave--Dave can you check out the Yahoo Volvo C303 site?

Cheers,

I applied to that group , and still haven't been approved. ( Good sense by the group's owner

).
About any questions, this glass is 100% Federal DOT legal. Most states go by these standards. 30% maximum tint is the max for anything front the driver's sidewards vision ( front doors and windshields). The law also states " no tinting
upon the glass. Which in basic english means ALL tinting on the front door glass and windshield is illegal. Some states and LEOs are lax ( to say the least) on enforcing it. Any glass behind the driver, you can do anything you want to .... Paint it Black, it's ok ( with only one exception).
But, back to the glass I supply. It is solex tint ( blue/green) and is the only tinted glass I know of that meets the tint for AS1 and AS2 locations in a vehicle. All other "typical" glass ( bronze or gray) have a light tansmittance of 44 to 53%, hence are not legal for the front areas of a cab. When I have some time, I'll go back in the archives and repost the laws regarding auto glass in the tech Pinz section for reference.
