Anyone ever bought a windshield from Amayama?

Expect them to revise the shipping cost up by a factor of 10. They've done that to me before when quoting large items.

Whifbitz used to do repro heated screens and I'd be willing to go in on a group buy if we had enough people to justify a production run.

I might have no choice unfortunately, there's no one that will send it to me, I've asked many supplies.

Apparently a Toyota dealer can do it but they seem clueless when you email them about it. I'd have to travel quite a bit to get to one...sure it's the last thing I could try but I can't see them being much use in person either. These shirt and ties are never clued up about anything you ask them.

As far as OEM windshields, I see two types: a "BLUE" and a "BLUE W(TOPSHADE)". What's the difference, is it the black dots around the edge?

I'm not 100% sure the difference on the part numbers, afaik there are at least 3 types of OEM screen. 1 has a green tinted band at the top, one has a blue tinted band at the top and one has no band at the top. I did look into it a couple years back but ended up getting a used one instead.

I'd guess blue = clear and blue w/topshade is the one with the top tint? but I could be wrong.

I opted for a windscreen with a blue wedge, but at first I wasn't sure..... whether it would go with a silver car ;-( ...., but I've already seen it live and it's not a bright / strong blue, more towards black / anthracite .... it looks really, really good....., 🙂

Did you do the install yourself?

Was it hard to remove the old one?
