Windshield

Re: Windshield

I seriously believe that Clint and AKERS AUTO GLASS should be recognized in some way ...

You'll all have to ask Brother Dan why he has to replace his windshield yet again, No it was not a rollover, yes the incident happened at speed, and no it did'nt happen when there was snow on the ground ...

Can you say "HOOD PINS" ???

Re: Windshield

I think Clint should sponsor the next rollover award!!!

I think at $180 installed he already is!

Re: Windshield

akers auto glass... leave it with them next week and it will be ready for race day.

I 2nd that. In 2006 when I rolled my car on the Sunday I popped the roof back up with a 2x4 and bottle Jack. Then called Akers the following Monday morning. They picked the car up from the track for an extra $5, flat towed it to their shop and had the new windshield installed for the following Saturday. $175. I wasn't even sure you could still get a windshield for a 1985 Pontiac Acadian, and it was brand new!

Call and tell them what it is for and you will pay cash, it is posible that they could even pick up a damaged widsheild (chipped or scratched) for cheaper.

Good luck.

Re: Windshield

My advise would be to hit it with a hammer and if it doesn't get bigger then you are ok. If it does get biger then you need to replace it

Re: Windshield

Too long. lol

We dont want to risk not passing tech so new windshield goes in tommorow.

Hate to say it, but that's probably your safest bet. Hopefully it doesn't cost too much.

I really hate saying "sorry" to all my favourite racers....and that would be everyone who races!!!

Thanks for being pro-active on the windshield.

Re: Windshield

A small hole will last as long as the temp does not change + or - 10 degrees within hours ...

The hole would have been filled with THIS

Re: Windshield

The concept of drilling a small hole should prevent it from getting larger, but I've never heard of anybody attempting it, and I'm not sure where in the rules it states the allowable size of windshield speed holes. BTW, cage looks beauty Dave. How long did the install end up taking you guys?
