I need a windshield:(

Wasn't someone here trying forever to sell one cheap in the classifieds recently?

 

If all else fails, maybe someone can laser-etch the new one?

 

Are you sure, your windshield wasn't replaced before?
I remember, on my '80 car car the original screen said 'Saint Gobain Sekurit', but my replacement I had to purchase in 2001 said 'SIGLA' with the cavallino on it.
I suspect, that this was a much later windshield.
For sorting such details you could PM our member 'TripleBlack' in France, who runs the most detailed website www.308-328.com which deals with such details in an amazingly thorough way.

Has anyone ever tried the ones from Superformance.uk.co?

 

Mike you windscreen is in line with the original markings. The "Sekurit Saint Gobain" etchings are on all the other glass for the car.

AFAIK Cavallinos did not appear on the glass until the 348.

 

On later 308/328 OEM replacements they did.

Don't skimp on 308 glass. You could spend a fortune on an aftermarket windshield sent over from Europe in a crate to find that it doesn't fit. Aftermarket glass rarely fits. This is a real dilemma, I feel really bad for you. Even when you find the right glass, installing it is a classic pain in the a$$.. I would call some of the breakers like GT Car Parts in AZ etc. and try to get OEM. Good luck.

 

Hey Mike,
My '85 QV has a Sigla windshield. But the numbers below the word 'Sigla' are different. I assume it is original but am not positive.
What caused the crack?

That's a screaming deal on a front glass. $300 for a shaded glass versus $1100 for one with the Sigla decal.. Maybe send a message to Rifledriver or someone who judges these cars and see if it's looked apon as a deduction? Perhaps it's viewed as a safety/wear item and gets a pass? I don't show my cars so I know which one I would purchase! Haha

 

This is what came from the factory for my replacement last year after mine developed a similar crack.

As we discussed I had Ferrari of Newport Beach order the windshield. Took awhile but it relieved my concerns that others had expressed about the possible fit issues with aftermarket. I didn't want to get stuck with a windshield that didn't fit. Held the dealer to that responsibility and also choosing the installer at their shop just in case something happened. When Hagerty says you can get what you want why would you compromise and settle for aftermarket? I didn't and am extremely pleased.

 

This is my official dealer's replacement from 2001

It fits perfectly. And my body shop who fitted it, didn't report any issues.

There's a company called Pilkington Glass that makes OE glass for many manufacturers and I had heard they have the original equivalent for many Ferrari models inc the 308. I also believe you can have the original markings etched on. Give them a look anyway. I got one from Superformance before i had found out about Pilkington, as the original factory screen had delaminated at the bottom. It fits fine and has a the blue sun strip blended in nicely.

you can not have original markings on it. They will give you a Sigla marking if you want, but the remainder of the markings are different. I was quoted around 2 months lead time iirc

 

Ok that's good to know. I thought I'd missed out not using them. But to have the Sigla marking is better than what came on mine..!
