| Hi all where is the best place to buy glass for the whole bus.. front,back and sides.. it is an 1964 11 window.. some of the sides are pop outs and others are not, not sure if that makes a difference.. i had all original VW windows in it but got broken out... also if i get replacement windows, should i charge an extra fee for the original VW glass getting broken.. its an insurance claim.. |

I like that- "should I charge an extra fee?" You need to compare a glass shop's prices to the $5-10 each VW pane costs in the classifieds. I'd bid the VW glass, shipped and installed.

You would lose value but the glass you are looking for isn't hard to find.

if its some sort of crazy survivor, then using the incorrect logod glass or glass with no logo will effect value to some degree.

What I'd be more concerned about is the angry girlfriend who broke out every single one of your windows. |

Replacing with new would lower the value unless you are buying nice new glass with logos.
