I purchased a new front windshield from Victoria British, for a very 
good price.  The first one had some deliminator, and they replaced it 
including shipping.

The second one was perfect, and comes with the OEM windshield sticker, 
ie its made by the same mnf as the original.

Been in the car for 15+ years, no problem, and it use to be available in 
tinted glass as well.
