checkmate Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I need windshield for my 1990 TC. Send pics, condition, price, and shipping to 32277. Thanks Send info to: dongtam69@hotmail.com
Digger914 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 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.
checkmate Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 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,
Digger914 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 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.
checkmate Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 I'll shop for an installer. Thanks again for the valuable information
Mark_Blodgett Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I had a new one installed by Safelite AutoGlass. Three years ago cost: $291.34
checkmate Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Was it the LeBaron windshield? I've used Safelight before. Edited June 24, 2016 by checkmate (see edit history)
Mark_Blodgett Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Have no Idea, but they had no problems and sure made a difference after 20 years of sand etc hitting the original one.
Guest Bob Barrow Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 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
checkmate Posted June 26, 2016 Author Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Thanks Bob...That was one of my next questions. I done some searching for the plastic clips with no success. Any advice? Edited June 26, 2016 by checkmate (see edit history)
Guest Bob Barrow Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Checkmate, I had a fellow in Tennessee send me some last year, & he to buy a whole box of them. I will try & find info tomorrow let me know. Bob
checkmate Posted June 28, 2016 Author Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks Bob. I'd like that info to be sure to install goes smoothly
Guest Bob Barrow Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 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

checkmate Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks Marty...That's exactly what I needed!
CWigleyjr Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 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
