Recommend a glass shop?

Whitey · Clarington Ont

Have you looked into Trim Tech on Taunton Road in Oshawa? Ask for Brian www.trimtechinteriors.com/
They work on a lot of high end show and race cars...hope this helps.

Thanks Whitey. I got a quote there once on recovering a bench seat and they wanted near $1000 with me providing the seat cover, so I haven't considered them again. But I should call them up for this anyways for a quote. You never know, it could be a decent price and they could do the job well.

Port Perry Auto Glass. The place beside the ford dealer. They do a lot of old stuff. They did my windshield in my truck. Did a fantastic job.

A peace of rope some soap and a couple of friends . Don't even consider using the the old gaskets , Push with your finger tips and never hit it with your hand.... you will want to but don't .

The service manual will give you all the details on how its done.

I had to read the first post after reading Slims reply😳

Good advice as always.... when put in the proper Context.😉

I'm working with a 70 year old who owned a body shop for 30+ years and still doesn't want to try it - he says because of the stainless mouldings that I have sitting inside the channels, it will be too difficult. So, a shop it is.

I'll call Trim Tech and Port Perry Auto Glass and let you know what I hear from them, in case it helps anyone reading this for the future.

I didn't call those shops - I'm going with Bill's Truck Shop in Courtice since I have bought parts from there in the past, they do these all the time, they have the glass should mine crack, and it is 5 mins from my house. They are $60 an hour labour and it takes as long as it takes.

that happens a lot. you go searching for something and it ends up being around the corner from where you started. i would think the 60$ and hour is reasonable also.
good luck and let us know how it comes out. it's always good to know of a good place to use for certain specific jobs.

This might be a bit late but just so you know for future use, Four Winds Auto Glass in Peterborough did my ride and I discovered after research that he has done a lot of customs over the years and is involved with customs in his spare time so I went with him. Price seemed reasonable and I'm happy with the result. He is on Aylmer.

I went with Port Perry Autoglass. I thought the price was fair. The service was excellent, too. I'll consider Four Winds in the future if need be, because I'm working up there now. Thanks for sharing that!
