Z06 windshield
I'm replacing my windshield due to small imperfections. it's the original Z06(4.8mm)windshield. if it comes out in one piece(it should), any interest? Do not want to ship due to obvious reasons.

Ahhh, I don't think they will get your windshield out in one piece!
I had one replaced on my Cobra, this summer. (It was just cracked)
Guy, installed plastic sheeting on my dash, and protected my hood with big matts. Removed moldings. Then Punched a hole in the corner of the glass with a tool. Used a Wire Saw to CUT the windshield Glass into two pieces. Then Removed the moldings and scraped the old adhesive and remaining smaller pieces of glass. I pretty sure this is how it will be done for corvettes too..

Since you have the one that shows the 4.8mm thickness you may want to keep it. I just had my windshield replaced for the second time and original windshield is no longer available through GM's parts departmnts. The windshield they provide is the correct thickness but the part number is different and the 4.8mm thickness isn't printed in the corner anymore. I spent several months working this out with GM and State Farm before the windshield was ordered.

i had mine replaced that had a crack start from the upper passenger side go all the way down to at an angle to almost right in front of my eyes and the glass guy got it out in one piece super easy. watched him do it not because i'm **** but because he actually was a neat guy to talk to. was the guy they glass company sent out for specialty cars, asked him what other one's he was doing and needless to say mine was the crappiest of the bunch lol!!!
