I think I’m going to replace the windshield on my ‘75, somewhere in the past someone ran the wipers with a worn out blade…a lot!

Who is the best source for quality (non wavy) glass? Also, is it possible to replicate the Carlite logo etc?

I have the JBG windshield. The first one I ordered showed up broken, called them and they immediately sent another that showed up in perfect shape. It’s the green glass, I don’t mind it.

I've just used the local places that come out and change it. If you go that route get the new rubber in advance from a vendor.
That's what I did, I used Safelite. I don't know if it was because of the Bronco but they sent 2 guys over to do it, usually it's just one. You will need a new rubber gasket, I know Safelite don't stock them.

Another Bronco Graveyard customer. In fact I JUST installed it about 3 weeks ago. Perfect fit, I don't see any waves. I believe it was drop-shipped from a distributor in Washington - PPR Industries. This was the logo and sticker on the glass so maybe made in Thailand? Installed it myself, very easy. What was a pain was the trim. But a lot of dish soap first AFTER putting the glass in the gasket made it go a lot easier.

I first went to Safelite. They directed me to their local factory in Phoenix to get it measured so they could cut it out from a larger laminated sheet. I went for my appointment at their factory and no one there that could help me. Wasted a trip.

I just had one installed by my local installer 3 weeks ago, got the gasket from Jeff's...$100 installed, no logo, but he cut me a deal since I send him a ton of business from the company I work for.

Autocity classic that was mentioned before. I don't believe has the logo though?

Installed it myself.
No they don't have the logo, but we don't care. There was a company called L.O.F that we used that would put the Carlite logo on for us.

We get all our Bronco and Mustang glass from Auto City Classic, in Minnesota.
+2 ... first one shipped and the corner edge was chipped during the shipping process. Auto City was quick to send another, good customer service. Easy install, no logo.

I tried to use them but the first Windsheild they sent was in about 12 pieces. Called them and they sent another to me and it got here in just about the same condition. That was enough for me. They refunded my money with no questions. Im in south Alabama and in my opinion they just weren’t securely packaging them to ship all the way across the country. I ordered door glass from Tom’s a few years ago and didn’t have any issues with them.
