Folks, I have a VB windshield in my 66 Tiger. Be aware that new glass
is thinner and stronger than our old stuff, so you have to take
precautions as the gasket slot is too wide for the new glass, and wiggle
a little, and will leak if not sealed(adhesive), otherwise the fit as in
shape was correct.

Interesting. I bought a new windshield in 1993. It was thinner. And the
stainless pieces didn't fit correctly with the thinner windshield. Sadly,
I had to trim the aluminum a bit to get it to lay correctly. I would swap
the original glass back in, and everything would line up and fit. Then the
thinner one again, and same problem. I thought it was because it was
thinner - that's what I was told at the time.

If the windshield is $167 (great price) don?t be surprised if the shipping cost that much. The windshield for my lowly Studebaker Lark is $350 plus $165 shipping (mid west to west coast). The rubber gasket and bedding compound was $100 and if you are paying someone to install it the price goes over $600. With older windshields the order seems to get reversed and it?s ?demand equals supply.? In the case of the Lark after a lengthy search there was only one vendor that had it. The woman stated they had ONE. I asked her if they would be getting any more and her reply was, ?Not likely.? It took a number of years before it was announced more windshields were (now) available.
I mention this because we Tiger owners need to be thankful there are windshields available at a decent price. But, to also to warn people that windshields for your ?other? collector cars might not be so readily available or reasonably priced. If I find a windshield for a car I have at a Pick A Part sale I pull it out and see the $20 it cost as a wise investment for the day when ... .
BTW, the bedding compound for I used was 3M TRM-8509. I got mine at Summit for $16 delivered in a standard caulk gun sized tube. I?m not sure if this is ideal for the Tiger application. While my installation was the standard rubber gasket type (like the Tiger) I did not have to fill in a gap in the ?glass to rubber gasket? area. The bedding compound was primarily for the gasket to windshield frame area. The product firms up, but still stays pliable.

Glad to see this thread. After all the work that went into my recent resto, none of us ever really payed attention to the windshield. Until the part of the test drive going into the sun. (When I drive I?m currently avoiding doing that ;-) ) I can?t put it off too long. I think I?ll call Pilkington tomorrow. VB has em for $167 iirc fwiw. Anybody deal with them on windshields?
