Windshield question.

[Torkman]

Has anyone ever purchased the after market windshield from Cruiser Corp for a 1975 BJ40 or FJ40 and can vouch that they do fit,?
I am getting push back from the local glass company that they don’t buy from them so won’t guarantee the work, I would do it my self but it’s a insurance thing

Local glass shop made mine off the old one. No issues.

Then have the local glass company buy one they like or just make one.

It's just 1/4" laminated safety glass

In my time in the industry it was critical to bypass the "hobby shops" if you want to make decent money. Sure cruiser corps, SOR, and others make it easy to find parts for our rigs, but the cost is generally 2-3x normal retail. For rare and unique stuff, we happily pay that, but we're talking about flat safety glass. If they bought from the hobby shops then they're losing the markup on parts. "There's no meat left on that bone"
Even with their markup the part itself will be much cheaper than any of the "hobby shops" sell it for.

They are refusing to make one and the one they found wants 1000 for shipping,
