make sure you fit a NEW windscreen seal as well other wise it will LEAK

Seriously buy a new windscreen for your own safety and that of others.
Old windscreens usually have a sandblasted surface from years of use. They look fine until you're driving into the sun in the early morning or late
afternoon and then you can't see a damn thing.
Thanks for the advise. I think a new one is a good idea 
Thanks Lee,I forgot abut Micks motors,they carry a huge stock of parts and their prices and service are good,go with this or vwsteve but if you are stuck Taree is halfway up the NSW coast,freight would be the killer. Cheers Les

180 brand new.
where in Qld I am nr Wivenhoe and hve a nice enn email has ph nr
Yep! I got seat belts Only in the front mind you. Yes the shattering
happened when we took it out, i thought imagine if a stone hit it while driving, wouldn't be pretty. $180 that's a good price, where is that from?
erm by a 2nd handy like steve said $50 cheap as
as long as the glass is clean n clear it will work like a charm n do a new rubber whilst u are at it
too easy
why spend the cash when u it isn't really that necessary
I got one here you can have Sam !!
wow free! give that man a 6 pack 
Hey Pat. That sounds like a good offer. I dunno though about not having the safety glass 
Looking forward to seeing you soon Pat
all new windscreens are now laminated...
its the Law...
so, no more safety glass... in windscreens...
other windows usually are...
seat belts stop You hitting the windscreen anyway...
just make sure the 2nd hand one hasn't any scratches on it
from old wiper blades...

A new windscreen makes a world of difference over a 50 year old one. In my experience Widscreens O'Briens are not necessarily the best value however
their service is very good. Suggest you shop around but you will need a new seal. $180 is probably a good price as I paid $150 for my '68 screen
about 4 years ago. Not only is it clear when driving at night and into the sun, it is way clearer when it is raining. Wipers work so much better on a
screen that is not sand blasted.

those wipers can travel a looong way over 40++ years....
remember to tell them You want to buy a new glass windscreen
and NOT have it fitted...
is much cheaper....
and Yes, its just windscreen o'brien comes to mind...
I don't use them... lol
but they are professionals when it comes to fitting windscreens and rear windows too.. lol
New rubber seals also look good and do NOT leak...
LEE
Alrighty, Well i think a new one would be a good idea. It will be nice to have a new one. I've heard racq glass is cheap and they do a good job.
Your beetle looks nice, is that at Valla?
Cheers
check out mobile repairers they come to your door
racq is good if u r insured with them....
