Default New ZR-1 Windshield
Safelite Just installed a Windshield and Weather stripping in a 1990 ZR-1 for $150. I furnished the Windshield and Weather Stripping

This is number 72 one of the first 1990s built.
I also have the last 1990 ZR-1 sold to public (#3032) and it has no windshield issues.

This is BEFORE and AFTER photos

Safelite did a Perfect Job

I got the Windshield and Weather Stripping from ZZZZZR1/LT5corsa (Dave) and have to say the Windshield is perfect in every way as is the Weather Stripping. Safelite was pleasantly surprised how good this Windshield Installation ended ....and they have done other Windshield Installations on Corvettes with Windshields and Weather Stripping they have provided themselves (This was the best they had seen).

Replacing the Windshield and Wiper Motor

why not have the full front windshield tinted by a professional window tinter and have him cut out a radar opening at the bottom.
I am sure it would look great and may pass for original.

I tried to have this done when I had to change out my original Z windshield for a standard C4 windshield. I couldn't find a shop that would do it, unfortunately.

I came across this website a while back. I do not know anything about them whatsoever. I figured I would past this on to you guys or maybe you all know about it. I had a new OEM windshield put on my old 1995 ZR-1 back over 10 years ago before I sold it and the windshield was $3500 back in 2004.
