Default Window glass for a coupe

Where are all of you buying your windshield and window glass from? I have a 30 coupe that needs it all and want a good product, not the cheapest by any means. I have also thought about a light tint - if that makes a difference in who I would buy it from. Thanks

Best bet is probably like Mitch says.
I've heard good things about Vintage Glass in CT, Tolland I think.
Shipping is a lot though.
Personally I think tint will lower the value of the car. JMO
Paul in CT

Any good glass shop can do this. All of the glass is flat and can be cut out of safety glass. They can install it too. Probably less expensive also.

A good local shop would be the least expensive.
Bert's, Brattons, etc. have to charge for shipping and that adds up quick.

Definitely Vintage Glass in Tolland Ct. is my vote also. He's done quite a few for me and has all the original patterns. Todd is a good guy and will ship anywhere.

We have a local shop that has cut glass for us for years. That was until the kid that was assigned to clean up the back of the shop threw out all of his cardboard templates. Kid thought they were just trash. We have taken enough back to him to get back in business.

My local glass shop charged me $150 to cut and install my windshield. The vendors charge $170 + shipping and no installation.
