cracked windshield
Good morning, all,
I have been looking desperately for a replacement windshield for my 2002 C5 convertible. I am getting the same answer from everyone. No stock, discontinued by dealer, National backlog with no eta. I'm in the east bay in California. I found one in Arizona and I'm planning on driving there to get it replaced. Obviously, I would like to find something more local. Why is this windshield so scarce? I get it, it is 23 years old, but there are many of these cars still on the road. Can anyone help and shed some light on this.
Thanks, Bill

**Edit - was paying attention to the profile pic & profile info which said Z06 instead of the content of the post
If your vert has a HUD, those are also harder to find on account of the coating

Import Glass Corporation has foreign made, “Solar” glass, shaded windshields in San Bernardino. But they show only stock in Phoenix and Tucson for HUD ( Heads Up Display). I used to cheat for cash customers and put regular solar glass windshields in their cars to be “cost effective”. I don’t remember who told me it works with solar glass. I never got to see them.
909-386-9237 , the San Bernardino warehouse may tell you who has an account with them to install your windshield. You didn’t get that phone number from me….
