Replacement Windshields: Options and Experiences?

[LindrelT]

Maybe Pilkington is slow updating their web site…. Hopefully not!

Really? Pilkington doesn't show it as dead online, and they do list the E30 under classics.

Another 02'r echoing what I found.... see last post.

Hope/wish I am wrong.

I replaced mine with a Fuyao for under $200 and it fit very well and I've had not issues 3 years later

I bought a TriVal back in May of this year. TriVal is a trademark of Pilkington. Portland Glass roughly $200.

As a datapoint ended up replacing the 20 year old windshield on the convertible.
Very few places had them in stock.

Ended up getting a Fuyao screen from the local aftermarket fitter.
Used the existing seal but a new chrome locking strip from the dealer and it is much, much better than before.
I can see even with sun glare.



Comes with old-skool tinted band at the top, but also has the modern black coating & dots (frits) around the edges.



May not be Pilkington, or OE Sekurit - but very happy having fresh glass.
