Where to find custom cut safety glass?

[slomove]

The windshield of my Birkin was already looking like the lunar surface from all the flying rocks creating tiny pits. Actually, I noticed much of the damage was done while track driving, don't know exactly why. It is beginning to impede visibility and on the PNW tour I had a rock make a dime size shell-crack. Sounds like a new sheet of glass to me.....

 

Now, where do I go to have a custom cut sheet of the laminated auto safety glass made? I don't really want the heating wires anymore. Do I just go to a regular auto glass repair place? Or are there specialty sources? Sorry about the dumb question if that should be obvious.

 

Thanks,

Gert, there should be local places that do that. I was looking for replacing mine at some point, and found a local place that does custom cut windshields for hot rods, etc... I think they wanted $90 and a couple of days.

Mazda, do you know if when they do that they mark them with the DOT AS1 designation? I was kind of keeping this in the back of my mind in the event that NYS pukes on my windshield (figuratively, that is)

I don't know, but I can look them up again on Monday and ask.

Don't go out of your way. I can call up a local place here and ask myself. I just figured I'd try to mooch off of any information you happened to already have.

My local glass shop will quickly cut a new windshield for me and mark it as DOT. Costs about $35 total, takes a couple of hours from the time I drop off the pattern.
