Reply to "Replacing Windscreen on 71 Pantera"

Are you doing the work yourself? If so, fine. If not, be aware that in-glass antenna wires have been CUT OFF by non-Pantera windshield installation shops when they couldn't find a convenient routing thru the gasket for the wires. This after you spent extra $$$ to get such an accessory....and cut off wires are not repairable.

Also be aware that Wilkinson currently stocks a windshield with all OEM markings that is about 1/4" larger in all dimensions, suitable for glueing in without the need to weld extra metal around the whole opening, as many glue-ins do. I'm not a big fan of glue-in windshields unless the chassis is also stiffened, since windshield cracking has been reported on some unreinforced Panteras with glue-ins.
