97 OEM WINDSHIELD

[RockyTop]

Did yours crack like mine did - - by itself with no apparent impact having caused the crack ? Mine started at the bottom edge in the rounded portion of the glass on the lower driver's side corner near the rear view mirror.

Oh boy! A glass question.....finally! Ha!
Well, my suggestion would be to go to the local glass shop and have it done. You DO have glass coverage on it, don't you? Why bother with it when the insurance company will pay, right? Call them first, then if you do have coverage, go to a quality glass shop in your area and talk to them about what "brand" windshields are available for it. PPG is a good replacement if you can settle for a non-Mopar. Same quality. The installation is straightforward and is a typical urethane-set w/black moulding job.
If you haven't done glass work, let a quality shop do it for you. I recommend against letting them come to you and do it in the "driveway". Not for this car. Take it there. That's my advice, and I did this for 15 years. pete the ex-glass guy

Does anyone know where I can find an OEM windshield for my 97 Viper Coupe? Also, how "tricky" is installation? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

But when mine were broken I had a pro do it.
