If I were you, I''d try to track down the pieces, and sue the crap out of them for your time, cost of replacement parts \\;and inconvenience. \\; \\; Good luck with your search.

I''ve been looking since the middle of march. Everyone seems to know someone who knows someone that might know someone that has ''em, but that''s as far as things get. I try to find out if someone has ''em and never hear back from any of ''em. :(

Thanks man. At the rate this is going I need all the help I can find. I have a guy that''s trying to get the parts from a couple of cars he has access to, but haven''t heard anything since tuesday. I did find out that since the moron from safelite couldn''t put the trim back on right, he just drilled into it with screws he had laying in his truck. Cute, huh? I haven''t heard from them since april, they won''t return my calls or e-mails, they won''t even answer the Better Business Bureau. So now I have a local "don''t screw the customer" news team involved and guess what? They won''t talk to them either. So the lady at the news station said "it''s time to take the next step". I don''t know what that is, but I hope it''s good! LOL!

New here, but this guy has them NOS, just very expensive. Send him an email for current prices and provide his info to Safelite and this will show them $250 is not even close.

Well, time for an update. Luckily someone had access to the parts (thanks daytonav691) and now not-so-Safelite is in possession of them. Unfortunately, I''m still waiting for them to get ahold of me. Kinda figured they''d want to get me off their backs as soon as possible. If they think their getting off free with me they can guess again. I think they need to reimburse the $184 for the windshield, plus the $250 they tried to buy me off with, plus a $250 fee for finding someone with the parts (that they gave up on looking for), and if they think they''re just going to drop them off at my door and tell me to put them on, they can fork over another $250 for my labor. That comes up to a $934 screw up. Oh- almost forgot- they told the Better Business Bureau they couldn''t find anyone to make the parts either. I found 3 companies less than 10 miles from me that will make them, but not for the $250 they were expecting to pay. None of them would even think about it for less than $3500, and that was for the plastic ones, the carbon fiber ones would have been closer to $8000, and that''s just for the parts- no labor. Nice, huh?

Well, Mr. Nathan Holley at safelite has the trim in his possession. Now we get to play the you gotta be fricking kidding me game. I was informed safelite WILL NOT install them, I will have to or find someone who will. No problem, I can put ''em on. But he will not send them unless I accept the $100 slap in the face he is offering for them screwing up. Lets see, first they charge me 230 for a botched windshield job. Then refund 50 whole dollars because they "overcharged me" for labor. Offer me $100 for their screw up, then up it to $250 when I blew up. They looked for the parts a whole week, then gave up completely when they found out they couldn''t be made for $250. Can''t wait for the news crew to call me back so we can really have at those idiots. Going for a full refund of the botched install, the $250 they offered me for screwing up, a $250 finders fee since I did all the searching and found someone with the parts, and since I have to put em on, $250 labor, for a grand total of $934. The attorneys I''ve called have been getting a pretty good chuckle out of this...

That''s too funny. He is holding your parts hostage for a settlement. Wow! What an a$$hole. I would sue them and name that jerk personally for his part in blackmail. This is why I don''t go to any fly by night operation as I have been bitten in the a$$ before. A simple oil change cost me a tow and the cost to have a new oil plug put in after some so called experienced mechanic stripped it. And then they had the nerve to deny that I ever had work done there!! The beautiful part about my situation is my mechanic would never direct me to some jerk for repairs he cannot perform himself. He knows I would take a big chunk out of his keister if he did. I would seriously take this problem to the local news if you haven''t already. If you call the little skunk out, then I bet he would change his tune. No business likes to be publically humiliated. I hope you get everything that you deserve and he gets what''s coming to him. People need to learn to appreciate vintage cars. I will NEVER patronize a Safelite.
