Hey Brian. Where did u purchase? I saw that u installed yourself. Would u do it again? Optically clear? Expensive? Thinking of doing 'vette and coach.

My brother worked at a dealership in Calgary that offered it. Yes, i would do it again. He said he only heard of one replacement and I guess it was a huge rock that hit.

he got one for me but said don't expect anymore...... guessing telling I had a ZR1 ( expensive shield ) helped getting one maybe.

It was expensive if you got a warranty that if your windshield cracks they replace it for free.

I will check one place here that might offer it with no warranty

I will update with my findings.

I believe it's standard autoglass in Red Deer, north end that has the system but can't sell it officially anymore. Could talk to the owner and see if he will part with it Garth.

I've had glass insurance on my car ever since I bought it was only $6 a year difference! Been worthwhile for those bad years. Had a 2" rock come off a trailer on Highway 2 in August give me a bullseye the size of a tennis ball 2 years ago! When I priced the windshield out it was crazY! Some people have put a regular windshield instead of the reflective (relfective needed for the HUD) and say it works ok just not as bright.
 
Glass place in west Edmonton has it for 100 bucks installed for the rock protection stuff
Glass masters in west Edmonton about 170 178 st and 118 ave can't look it up right now. Mark I think is the guys name.

We will use this for the start of the cruise till we lose cell signal near the mountains. It should be back working in Lake Louise.

OK, I found it.........

There is 3 strengths..... the guy said use the Ultra on the Corvette.

I have the med on my car now..... I bought an Ultra to do anther coat.

$75.00 plus GST for it with you installing yourself.... so, $78.xx

He said $100 for them to install.. it is not hard... think it is wipes to wipe on... did it 5 years ago... no chips or cracks.

it is good stuff.

So, who ever wants me to bring them an Ultra to Ponoka can etransfer me $80.00 by Friday noon and I will get how ever many

etransfer $80.00 to [email protected] but Friday noon.

If you not coming to Ponoka and want me to mail it I would say $100.00 and I will mail it.


and you CAN put it on a non new windshield.

I see a couple of you on the CCF map with expired locations so you're definitely getting the hang of it.

If there is room, my wife & I would like to attend your lake Louise ride on June 3 for the day
Thanks
 
OK got some Great News ... Ponoka has inspired adrenaline ... so add to the Lake Louise List :thumbs: !!!
Freda & I (Spence) have just committed to a Room at the Lake Louise Inn for June 3rd and will definitely be joining in as we will drive to Red Deer from Calgary that morning. Found that standard rooms are booked ... but no issue as I now get to treat my wife to a room upgrade in exchange for tolerating my perks of this new Corvette addiction - as it was "the purchase" that was suppose to be the hardest thing for her to "put-up" with. :rolleyes:
She does truly enjoy the social aspect with such fine people as we discover new and different things to do together.
We look forward to this "chapter" on June 3rd & 4th :happy::happy:

:thumbs: Off my to-do list ... having my teen help set me up Glympse (lol) :Confused5: ...

:thumbs: Off my to-do list ... obtaining our free Parks Canada 150 Pass :canada:

It was awesome to meet you and we look forward to meeting Jo ... and you get a "Like" on your comment on Freda's behalf for complimenting only the colour.
It was the one aspect that she stipulated to be in her control during our purchase ... and the colour compliments continue to thrive for her after the fact.
Thank you and see you both soon ! :happy::happy:
 
Canadian Tire has 2 way radios on sale this week, starting from $36 a pair.

It might be a way to chat a bit on the drive... yes, some say if roofs are off can't hear them that well.Some have earphone jacks.

Maybe jeff can tell jokes the whole drive... LOL


Bring your radios if you have some or think about checking out this sale... on till Thursday night this week.

We lose cell service from the park gate are till we get to Lake Louise.

I think I'd better just stick with Rruuff Day....

And thanks again Brian for the windshield product delivery... Unfortunately I had to run and didn't get a chance to socialize nearly as much as I wanted.... Next time...
