Default How much for a C3 windshield

Mine has light scratches from old wipers. Just wondering if I should replace or just live with it.

Gary,

I'll be putting one in my 72 in a couple of weeks, called Speedy Glass. The price is about $250 installed, have it in a day. I'm down to bare windshield frame, and the owner has been installing for about 40 yrs. He assured me no problems and warrantied... has done many Vettes from "back in the day" til now.

Rob

They say that if your fingernail doesn't catch on the scratch that you should be able to polish them out. I think you can buy the kit through many suppliers, Eastwood included.

This is correct. If you can not catch your finger nail in the scratch, then it will polish out. I bought the kit from Eastwood and used it on a windshield that would not pass state inspection. It took the scratches out with no problems. It takes some time, but it worked great!

Keep what you've got and polish out the scratches. Live with what remains.
