New windshhield
WHEN I WAS INTO STREET RODDING I HAD MY OWN GLASS MAN .. BUT HE WONT TOUCH A C5
IT ONLY TOOK 10 DAYS TO FIND A GLASS THAT FIT .
BUT THANKS TO THE PEOPLE AT "COMPLETE AUTO GLASS" IN OREGON CITY OREGON.
THEY SEARCHED THE NW AND REFUSED OVER A HALF DOZEN PIECES BEFORE INSTALLING A WINDSHIELD THAT FIT WITHOUT A MESSY INSTALL.
THEY DO ALL THE WORK FOR SURBURBAN CHEVROLET IN SANDY OREGON. THE N.W.S NUMBER 1 CORVETTE DEALER.

HUD or no HUD, Why is it hard to find C5 glass?
I've read of many people on this forum install HUD's in their C5's that don't have the HUD windshield. They all seemed to be happy after the install.

It wasnt hard to find a HUD glass..
Just a bit hard to find one that fit.
Alot of the glass supplied to the shops are coming off the molds with a strange curve at the lower corners, they could be fitted if you dont mind them using alot of sealant to set the glass.
I just wanted a cleaner install.
GM is probably facing too many issues to address their glass suppliers ??
Thats BIG business and I know zero about that.
However I do know that they didnt screw up the car and the result was excellent.

I'm getting mine replaced Friday since a rock cracked mine pretty bad the other night. I was glad they asked me if I had HUD bc I didn't even think of it at the time. I can only hope that mine goes as smoothly as yours. btw, how long should I expect it to take them?
