RD Enterprises windscreens

[Grumblebuns]

Reviewing the monthly special page, it appears that RDEnt has new clear windscreens. Curious to see what they are charging.

Just ordered one $650 + shipping
They are from Pilkington they told me.

I don’t remember what my windshield cost me a couple I think this is good news - at least it seems like good news after the gut punch of Pilkington’s announcement that they would no longer directly serve the US market.

I had done some looking around for alternatives when the announcement was made and found this (https://madico.com/dealers/automotive/windshield-protection/clearplex). Does anybody know anything about this?

In fhe Netherlands we have a saying  : Better expensive than not for sale.
I think $650 is reasonable, but shipping is not cheap.(not RD fault)

Last week I installed my R D windshield, took 1 hour and is aperfect fit.
It comes from Pilkinton and is made in Finland.

What do you want to know?
I cut the rubber seal with a grinder with thin blade to make the top corners fit (does smoke a little)
Then put the rubber in place and put the windshield bottom in the rubber.
Then worked my way round. Not hard to do.

Sounds easy.  Thanks!  I realize that on my TC it's a bit different though, as you have a gasket to mount it in, if I understand.

Good luck with the move. I haven't visited Spain, but I hope to.
