Title: We Need a Windshield! Yikes!
Post by: coloradocully on February 20, 2021, 06:56:18 AM
Our 1977 Clipper "The Diggler" has a severely damaged windshield. Still in tact, but not looking very good!

We have tried EVERYWHERE to find a replacement and have had no luck. We are even told it is obsolete and not made any more.

Anyone have one? We have money! 8)
-or-
Anyone know a way to keep the cracks from spreading in case we just need to ride it out with this one?
-or-
Anyone know a windshield that could work to replace it? We know the part number is DW00760 and not looking good to find one. Probably unrealistic, but anyone know a windshield that would be "close enough" to act as a substitute? (if such a thing can be done in the world of windshields)

Looking for any experience, strength and hope the ACOC has to offer. Thanks as usual and safe travels, guys!

  If you still need a windshield there is one on e bay for 78.75 if you have the dodge.
If it helps warren truck pant 3 used a front dodge van body for the MB 300, CB300,  ( which for the van was a B 100 / 200 / or 300 some even had the same front axel components. I have a 1980 24 MB 400 bunk house that replaced my 1976 21' rear galley but it was built in a 1979 frame and nose with a 1980 grill. ) I bought the 78/79 dealers parts catalog
I hope it helps.
