Getting a windshield is one thing, you can always use glass from a LeBaron, getting it installed is another. A mobile glass installer probably won't have the plastic trim retainer clips in the truck and a glass shop might need to special order them. At 25 years old I can guarantee you will need to replace at least one clip when you do the glass and this must be done when the glass goes in.

 

Start checking the yellow pages for a good auto glass shop and find yourself an installer that has been in the business long enough to know how to remove the frame trim. The trident in the pentagram looks good and keeps the car original. Gouging up the leather upholstery will stand out like a sore thumb.

Thanks for the info. I never considered the LeBaron option. I did find 2 windshields on eBay. Buying would be like being robbed ha, ha,

Glass shops do like to sell the glass with the install and I think this is the only piece of glass we share with the LeBaron. Finding an installer that knows how to install is more important to me than an insignia that you need to look for to see.

 

Headlight glass is a different story, at $100 a pop if you only need one you buy it used.

I had a new one installed by Safelite AutoGlass. Three years ago cost: $291.34

Was it the LeBaron windshield? I've used Safelight before.

Have no Idea, but they had no problems and sure made a difference after 20 years of sand etc hitting the original one.

If you are going to use a Lebaron windshield, make sure it is for a 1989 Lebaron convertible. I researched this last year & Safelite could order one for you. The only trouble that some of  the guys had was to make sure there was enough butyl (adhesive) put into the lower outside corner to make sure that you don't end up with a leak. Also make sure you have extra clips for the side stainless mouldings, as I am told they break when removing these moulding's. The plastic gets very brittle after 25 years.   Bob Barrow

Thanks Bob...That was one of my next questions.  I done some searching for the plastic clips with no success. Any advice?

[checkmate]

Thanks Bob.    I'd like that info to be sure to install goes smoothly

[Guest Bob Barrow]

Checkmate, I found the name of the fellow that I got the side clips from.  Roger Frazee, 663 Norris Shores Drive, Sharps Chapel, TN, 37866. Sorry I did not get his Ph. number.  Good luck,  Bob Barrow

Hi Marty,

Saw your comments concerning the retaining clips for the windshield trim. Getting a new windshield

installed but have concerns about those clips and would love to buy some just in case and knowing some will surely break during install. 

Can you provide them or provide me with a supplier ?

Thanks Marty,

Chet
