Mk1 Glass question

[vwtype53 at yahoo.com (Ben)]

This is unbelievable!  A couple of years ago Daun bought the last Mk1 windshield available in the
country... then last year Peter found us a crate of mk1 windshields back from the 80's in some
warehouse or something... I thought for sure I was one of the last people to get a "new"
windshield.  And now someone had a bunch made!  This is great news... but will the supply be there
in the future when we all really need it?  Looks like the batch of windshields from this
Pilkington Glass is dwindling fast... down to only 5 left I think I read... get one quick.

I just hope there is enough demand in the future in case we ever need them again... it's a
windshield, so the need is always going to be there, just a matter of when.  :(
