Hi All, the news is good. ProSource Glass International, Andover, MA, 877-3=
45-2800, has 10 Triumph TR3A clear windshields and 10 with a light green ti=
nt. The windshield has the proper arc or curvature, is laminated and has US=
 DOT approval. Cost is $130.00 for the clear glass, $135 for the tinted, + =
$15.00 for packing and $42.00 for UPS shipping to Ohio. The windshield is m=
anufactured in Ohio. Total cost for a correct replacement windshield is $19=
2.00.

Jim's Specialty Glass, Toledo, Ohio, 419-865-8139, also has the clear, 1960=
, TR3A windshield glass and will install it for $287.00, total, including t=
he glass which is also curved and laminated.

Both sources specialize in vintage and antique auto glass and maybe there a=
re other less expensive sources but I am happy with either of these and hav=
e spoken on the telephone with both.

Those of you who follow ChefTush on YouTube with his extensively documented=
 1960 TR3A restoration - ProSource is the company he used for his new winds=
hield.

I was not anticipating this expense but greatly relieved the glass is still=
 available and a professional familiar with installation is affordable.

As I was informed by several list members that I was "screwed",  I am no lo=
nger "Screwed". Hopefully this will help other TR3 owners who need a new wi=
ndshield.

Hi All,

I have what was a perfect 1960 TR3A or 1962 TR3B windshield. Not sure which=
, but it was pristine. Unfortunately, and tragically, I had it in the house=
 for cleaning and it was accidentally knocked over. When it hit the hardwoo=
d floor it cracked all over the place. The cracks cannot be felt on either =
side so the glass must be in three layers, or laminations. Is it possible t=
o have this repaired or am I out of a perfect windshield?
