windshields hard to find?

[miottimouse]

I am just wondering if you guys are having a problem getting windshields for these trucks south of the border? The auto glass company I usualy use said there was about a 3 week wait as no one in Alberta had any in stock and they would have to be ordered. So the guy just about sh#t him self when I ordered 6 of them! So a month later they are sitting in my parts room and at $110.00 each CAN $ for tinted I still think I got a pretty good deal!

Not really a problem where I live. I can get them installed the same day for about $150.

Good haul, though!

 

[miottimouse]

yes about $400 each installed in Alberta

Same day installation here. The installers broke the first one and had the second one in an hour.

I found 2 Carlite ones here last year, didn't act fast enough though. They seem available in the States though.

I do the same, you have to. It's been getting harder to find parts just in the last few years

There's a reason for that.

There's a reason for that.

Whatcha talking 'bout Willis....

 

[fatherdoug]

Seems like all the parts are being sucked into a vacuum in Canada.

 

[m78]

Mostly in Alberta. There's like a vortex over it.

Adam I would love to do that one day we just got our passports a few months ago and after the Mexico trip I would like to go to Arizona for a month or 2 next winter. But I am pretty sure the wife will catch on as soon as I tag onto the car trailer with new 5 ft sides haha.
