68 vista cruiser windshield question

So, my windshield on the 68 vista is trashed. Having a hard time locating a source that actually has them.

Question - Are all 68-70 GM A-body windshields the same?

Will a cutlass 2dr windshield fit in the vista cruiser?

thanks

2dr hardtop, 2dr convert, and 4dr/wagon are all different. Also be aware that the 1970-72 have the antenna in the glass.

Did you try Google? Here's one source for $185 (the windshield is near the bottom).

So any advise on finding a windshield for a vista cruiser? I have failed.

You apparently also failed to click on the link I provided in Post #3...

As Joe said, the Vista Cruiser windshield is the same as a 4-door A-body windshield. These are available, most commonly, with a Chevelle designation. They can be date coded.

The in-glass antenna connector may be a bit different but you can work with it.

I have some good used windshields if you have to have original parts. But from what I've seen of your build, I'd bet you want a new one.

They have one on Rockauto. When I needed one for my convertible I got it thru a friend at a body shop. The supplier delivered it to the body shop.

Your local glass person can get the glass and install it for cheaper than you can buy it yourself mine cost me less than 250 bucks labor glass urethane and foam kit installed. It's A 4 door sedan glass, I used a 70 glass and installed the windshield antenna in my 68.. I used a windshield antenna from a 72 to 72 Monte Carlo. Works great
