Porsche windshield doesn't make sense to me either. As Bob was saying, OEM Cobra windshields fit most replicas. They're still made in England, and I've purchased a goodly number of OEM Cobra parts from Wayne Roper at cobraspares.com in England.

You can buy the glass alone, or get glass installed in frame. Cost in British Pounds was L120, glass only, L360 glass and frame. Exchange rate has varied from 1.4 to 1.6 over the years. Multiply Pounds by conversion factor to get US Dollars.

Finishline carries a goodly supply of OEM Cobra parts as well, and you can understand their "English" over the phone a little better.

Don't count on these being totally interchangable, and replacing the glass in the frame isn't the cakewalk it appears to be. Take frame and glass to a windshield shop, and let them do it. Or, buy windshield and frame, but be prepared to re-install your wind wings, sun visors, and top hold downs.
