Title: Best place for windshield installed?
Post by: Black Betty on May 30, 2014, 06:30:17 PM
Just got 3 coats of paint to the new windshield frame, waiting for it to dry before throwing the clear coat on.

I seem to recall a guy on the forum here doing windshields.  I have a few places I got quotes from, but it never hurts to find cheaper.  Anyplace you guys recommend for new glass in the yj?

XJwrencher (thou he does not frequent the board) does installs and told me not paint the inner frame (anything where the sealant was to be applied) other than with a quality etched primer.  The sealant does not like top coat paint or clear and may have to be removed and reprimed  prior to the windshield install.

Got it done at the windshield surgeons today.  The guy looked at me like I was from the moon when i carried in the frame.  Now its time to put it in the jeep!
