Hi all,
Apologies if this isn't the right forum for this, I wasn't entirely sure where to put it.
I have been searching for source for new windshields in North America for my 1990 coupe quattro that I'm building, and have had 0 luck.
As a summary:
Safelite - can't find the windshield, stated that audi no longer manufactures it.
Viracon - Once made the windshield, but it looks like they no longer do.
Pilkington - No longer makes automotive replacement glass
So at this point, I'm looking at going to a custom windshield company and asking them to make these windshields from scratch. The cost of a mold varies from company to company ($2500-$3000), but once the mold is made, the cost to manufacture windshields goes down quite a bit.
I wanted to gauge interest if anyone else is currently in need of a coupe quattro windshield and would be interested in sharing the cost of the mold? If there is, I want to do this the right way and get a small group together and either work with the manufacturer to get a group rate, or at least document an agreement and proceed from there.
If there is any interest feel free to message me here,
Ian
