    Anyone know a quality S. F. Bay Area mobile glass installer familiar with early P?

    Need front/rear glass install. I know how to do it, and probably could, but I want the alu. trim and the seals to sit just right, and for that it can be a bit tricky. Anyone in NorCal have a good experience with this? Thanks

    I use Keith at All About Glass in Thousand Oaks. Does a lot of Porsches, Hot Rods and Hi-end cars, he will come to you. You're pretty far Bob, so it maybe cheaper to go to him. 805 657-0392 or 805 578-8900. Hope this helps

    Brian,

    I've used Don at Action Glass in Concord for ten years and have been completely satisfied with his work. He knows Porsches inside & out, and has come to the shop where my car was being worked on and to the house.

    Note: as far as the alum. trim is concerned, have the glass installer just do things as he would normally, and when he's done you can fettle the trim at your convenience and take your time, using a small plastic mallet and a block of wood you have carved / made yourself to fit the cross-section curvature of the trim to keep from marking it.
