Bugeye windscreen help

Hello,
I am getting ready to put my windsheild frame back on. I do not know how to install the windshield, so I am going to have to take it in somewhere. My questions is, is it better to just take the frame in somewhere to install it, or should I wait to take my whole car in? I would prefer to just take in the frame, as I am worried about my new paint job, but I don't want to make the installer's job more difficult either.
Thanks, Kevin

There is no reason why it should be installed to replace the glass! I have tried doing the job myself and it is a PITA! By all means take the frame to a "specialist" and save yourself the aggravation! :wink: :thumbsup:

Does anyone know of a reliable installer in WA state? I live in the Olympia area, but I am willing to drive as needed.

Try Brooklands British Auto in Tacoma. Matt is a stand up guy and I've always found their work to be first rate.

I have used this guy:
Joe Benham

He works for a regular glass company by day but also works at home after hours and does really good work, I recommend him highly!
