[VintageLambo] Re: parts list

Peter, et al. I had a recent experience with glass from Europe. I bought a windshield for the Matra in Paris. When I discussed having it shipped the dealer wanted about $660 for shipping, handling and insurance. I contacted FedEx directly, and they agreed to pick up the windshield from the dealer, ship it via ground (boat), through customs and to my house for $251 US. I got it in WRITING from FedEx, and had them pick it up. You must have an account but that"s easy to set up. When it arrived, FedEx wanted $816, and I whipped out my WRITTEN estimate before signing for it. They honored the estimated price. So, the glass was $226, shipping $251, and install was $133. I warm up the car carefully now before driving, used modern silicone seal, and stay away from gravel trucks! What about the window seal Peter, I have my new seal for the rear quarter windows, and got felt glass channel while I was there. I should have the drivers window back in the car on Sunday night, if it"s not too cold out there. Changed to the patio door pullies, and I like them better as they don"t wobble like the plastic Fiat ones. They"re made of brass, so shouldn"t have to much trouble with corrosion.
