Very productive response. Next time please don’t respond to a post of mine unless you have something productive to say. It’s the holiday weekend and if they did I would still come back here and ask for anyone’s experience with them.Call them and ask.
Thanks but asking if they do older cars, not sure if many places do, this is why I’m asking mainly for the Duster.I got a quote from safelite for a windshield on my daily driver...
A local glass shop did it for $160 less, so I drove it there instead...
AMD makes replacement windshields etc...
Glass Automotive Window Glass
Glass - Windshields Windshield Chevy Ford Dodge Plymouth GMC
Thanks but asking if they do older cars, not sure if many places do, this is why I’m asking mainly for the Duster.Safelite came out to do my truck. The female installer said she couldn’t do it because of the rust. When I got home I popped off the all the trim and could not find any rust.
I called a local guy. He did it. No problem and no deductible.
I will never use Safelite and I will recommend nobody else does.
I once ordered a windshield from Safelite and when they showed up the installer had never seen a windshield gasket before and said he couldn't do it. That was several years ago and it's not likely gotten any better.Thanks but asking if they do older cars, not sure if many places do, this is why I’m asking mainly for the Duster.

Good advice, I had my windshield replaced in my 70 Dart. Not only did the technician , about 25, scratch the paint, but he damaged the trim. I had before pics and when the insurance company saw the damage they sent me a fat check.I have found that getting a glass company to want to do old cars, it takes an independent co. and guy with years of old experience.
I have had to get several windshields thru AMD and could find such no where else. The crating and shipping kills you!

Yep, too much work. Went to a place and ask the older guy running about it he's like oh no we don't do them anymore I can make money so much easier on these new carsMost places simply will not do gasket installs, glue down only.

It's been hot here too. Heard of a few people getting heat stroke already this year. I started doing concrete and framing in 89, still do outside work. I always laugh at people complaining about the heat. Not so much this year. It's HotI know how to do the glass in the gasket, but I admit it ain't always easy forme and the wife, we are old. By the time I have that AMD 64 Belvedere windshield in my hands, $285, plus $75 crate, plus $150 freight. I got the last one unless Kramer has some and if he does, he will triple the costs!
I felt better having the glass guy that has been doing this 40 years and give him $125 for him and his helper to come to my place. We had to postpone it a couple days, his helper came close to a heat stroke.

I actually have the answer for you. Safelite doesn’t do cars earlier than 1991. I called them about my 72 Dart. My insurance pre approved me. Hope this helps!Thanks but asking if they do older cars, not sure if many places do, this is why I’m asking mainly for the Duster.
