Windshield Pilkington or OEM Volvo

Conversion from glue-in to flex gasket windshield is a common modification. I recently converted my 84 Rabbit to a flex gasket/windshield and am very pleased with it. You don't need the "gator" clips and I don't like them. The glass for the flex rubber gasket has a slightly different dimension than the glue-in glass. Simply, order a windshield for a 1985 cabriolet from your glass store. My Pilkington brand with an upper tint band was about 130$ uninstalled.

The guy came out and did a fine job installing the new windshield - Pilkington glass.

Had mine replaced with Pilkington, very good quality (free as well...$0 deductible).

The insurance company in FL (where they have to replace it even with just liability) forked over around $650 to have mine replaced with the Pilkington glass.

I had a bad experience with a Pilkington windshield in my wife's '06 Honda Pilot. Could be the shop we used but it leaked.
