Gil,

Here is an option for you to consider BFY obsolete parts sells new windshield glass.

Thanks, I have had one on order for over a month and they still have not got them in yet. Just looking for alternatives at this point. Thanks for the info though.

BFY seems to be having some serious issues with their "suppliers"...

still waiting on some parts I ordered begining of this month, and from what I'm hearing I'm NOT the only one..

I've had many issues with items being supplied on-time (or should I say NOT ON TIME) from BFY over that past two years. I'm currently waiting on bumpers that were suppose to be in "tomorrow or Monday." That was 3 weeks ago. :evil: Friendly staff, just frustrating. You're not alone.

Im done with BFY....period. They say its coming and it never does. Wolfsburg West will at least be honest with you and tell you its not in stock and wont be here for another 4 weeks. I can deal with that. Like the staff, but be honest with me about the real shipping dates.

Here is an alternative. They have the tempered glass ones for split window cars. This will fit, but is probably a little more expensive then what you are waiting for now.

And yea, I'm done with BFY too! Nothing but trouble trying to deal with those guys. I don't think they know how to fill an order correctly, or give you an answer to a simple question. BFY = BFU[/quote]

Im finished with them too. I ordered a bunch of parts and they sent them to me (three weeks later) only for me to find out some parts were on back order. Why didnt they tell me when I ordered? It sucks to open the box and find some parts arent there and have to order again from another supplier and pay shipping all over again. They wont get another $ from me.

I thought it was odd. I always liked them they must be having some problems????????

I have ordered about $1000 worth of parts and I am getting partial orders with no explanation and one box missing three things. They don't question the missing parts and said sorry and sent the parts.

Still waiting on a ton of stuff. Sounds like a management problem.

I wonder if they are aware that their reputation is suffering?

I'm assuming the multiple calls from multiple people that have crap that ain't arriving when it should might be giving them an indication of their suffering reputation.....
