Just ordered one, been waiting a long time to get one at a reasonable price sans tariffs. My old gasket is shot and I have a new Sekurit windshield waiting in a box.
 
I bought a new windshield from W&N a month ago and it arrived safely. UPS also sent me a 35% tariff bill that had to be paid before I got the W&N shipment.
Stefan Reis also got the windshield gaskets a month ago. The price was $200 delivered by UPS in about 5 days. UPS knocked at the door and asked for $45.35 tariff cash or money order before giving it to me.
The gasket came from Thailand. My experienced BMW glass installer inspected the rubber and said there was no mold release residue on it,so it is ready for the job. He said the mold release material can make the installation more difficult if not removed with a solvent.
To be continued.....
 
I just received my seal and windshield. The first windshield I received had damage on the lower corner from shipping. They were very responsive about the issue and sent a new one as soon as I sent them photos of the damage. The outside packaging was in near perfect condition but I learned they install a "shock watch" which is a small vial which turns red if the package is subject to a certain amount of impact. Interestingly enough it was removed from the package when it was delivered? Same was true with the second one (which was not damaged). I was surprised that the first one one required only $24 fees/tariffs but then the second one which had a zero invoice required $49 but should have been $0. I have filed a claim to UPS to get the second fee refunded. Additionally If learned if you pay prior to delivery you save $15.

I installed the window with the chrome trim I bought from them many years ago but thought it got installed after the window was installed. I learned the chrome trim gets installed into the rubber before the window goes into the car. The whole process was relatively easy using a cord/rope to install. I did it by myself.
 
You should mention where you are -your location.
Windshield don’t ship very well as testified in the previous post.
I ship them in 10 at a time inside wooden crates so that my damage potential is almost 0
And I have lots of inventory, but I don’t ship them anywhere so it’s very important that you note where you are. If you’re local to me, it’s not a big deal then if you’re in Kansas, you have no option at this point but to buy from Walloth?

unless you want to drive to (make a pilgrimage to visit) Alameda and buy direct from @sfdon. of course that means timing it when he is there (not as easy as you might think). that might cost a bit more than the 100+ euro shipping for a windshield from W+N. the downside about the single windshield is that it generally comes in a cardboard box + hopefully it arrives in 1 piece. this is when a group buy is a good thing - if you have 5 to 10 people in a general area that need the same thing. people from Houston, Dallas + Austin ... plus neighboring OK or LA. still probably a long shot to get that many people 'in need'.
