Replacement E9 Windshield - Source?

[leonine99]

KEP - I bought both front and rear glass from W&N and they were very good about it. The rear glass arrived damaged, and they made good and immediately sent a new one out, that arrived fine. Just the risks involved as UPS drop kicks many of their big packages.

Location?!

If any where near Northern California, just go to SFDon with an SUV .

Worth the trip

@leonine99 How much was the shipping for those two from W&N if I may ask?

Hi Don:

Thanks for taking the time to help us! We have a call in to Mygrant Glass and they're checking their warehouses. If I come up empty my next call will be to Walloth - though based on your guidance, I would be concerned about having our windshield shipped from Germany. I'll keep you posted on our search.

Thanks again,

Kim Petersen

Hey Kep, if you're not in a huge hurry, this thread says that Walloth has a 1/2 off shipping event around once every month:

FYI - 3 days of 50% worldwide shipping at Wallothnesch

In case your shoppping cart is full.

I can say that the Walloth windshield fit perfectly when installed last week, I bought BMW rubber seals but maybe Walloth sells the same ones as well.

I think W&N may not apply their shipping rates and deals to a windshield, swore I read some caveat somewhere on their site.

I think I remember the same message that BavBob refers to, about the discount not applying to "large items"....

I just bought 10 windshields from Walloth...

shipping was 1300.00
customs and brokerage was about 250.00
california sales tax was 10%
currency conversion was 2%

all large purchases are reported to State of California tax board by customs broker using your EIN number or Social Security number. Penalties and interest accrue to those that do not pay promptly.

I bought a complete set of glass. All 8 pieces. IIRC the shipping cost was about $600. It was 4 years ago. There was some customs duty, about $200 but no state tax. CA doesn't miss a trick.

Would anyone know of a source for a replacement windshield for my 1970 2800 CS? Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I bought mine recently from a BMW dealer - the factory in Germany still has some.
