Where is the best place to get a m35A2 front windshield and frame?

[trider]

I am needing to replace both front windshields and frames due to very bad rust and cracked glass on both and was wondering who has the best price and good quality? From my search it looks like the cheapest I can find is from C&C Equipment for $155 each plus shipping and they a new not used. Anyone ever bought one of these from C&C or know of a better deal?

Kublo's Surplus has them cheaper.

Do you want new or used? I may have one on my parts truck. I will have to check the condition.

there is alway Brown's Military in Binger.

I have been looking at new ones as I hear the rubber seal around the frame is a real bear to change and thought it I got new ones I could throw them in but if used was cheap enough I would consider it.

The seals aren't that bad. I use liquid soap to make them slide in easier.

I don't have any experience with changing them on Deuce's, but we use aerosol silicone spray at work to put in new window run rubber. Works like a charm. Granted liquid soap is probably something you would have sitting around the house.

The thing I've found with liquid soap is when applied it's as slick as snot but when it dries it's somewhat sticky, holding everything in place.

Makes sense, kind of like tire bead lube (the heavy grease type, not liquid). Which come to think of it, would probably work great for setting glass seals.

I put the ones from C&C on my truck, they fit and look good. They are Korean made but what I would call good quality. Only gripe is that the screws holding the frame together started rusting pretty quick as the finish is not good on them.

Well sounds like I can manage to replace the window frame seals and appears I have come up with one window frame from a friend of mine but still need one window frame and glass.

I had 2 badly scratched windshields and attempted to replace the glass. I soon found out it was more trouble than it was worth. The frames were rusted through in the groove where the glass and gasket sit, which could not be seen from the outside. I purchased 2 new units from C & C Equipment, granted the $155 price tag was a little steep, but the finished product was well worth it. I have not had the rust problem on the hardware like Rustynuts has, but I store my Deuce inside out of the weather.

For at least the last 7 or 8 years, the only new ones available from anyone or anywhere have been the Korean ones. They're actually made for the Kia-built M35 replicas that are made for the South Korean military.

I think the only way you're gonna' buy American windshields would be to find some NOS ones. Good luck with that.

The Korean windshields are fine except the mounting lip is thin and distorts when you tighten the screws. I'd run a bead of sealer along the lip (hinge), as when I've installed new windshields, they've leaked rain in between the inner and outer frame.

I might have a source for usgi windows. I will post back up shortly on the answer I get.

 

[trider]

Yes please let me know. I only need one at this point.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Nope, I was wrong. No usgi available.

I purchased (4) front windshield glass (2 for windshield and 2 for camper) very happy with purchase. I bought these last summer.

As much sucess as I've had trading with George Kivett at White Owl, CNC ships them in a very sturdy box at no extra charge. Both vendors have very good customer service skills.
