Re: [DML] Lexan or Plexiglass windshields

Since Claude knew what I was going to say already :) I'll say it to 
everyone else.

There is some company selling aftermarket windshields for the 
DeLorean - I've seen their ad in Hemmings. The Esprit windshield will 
NOT fit a DeLorean.

While many of the NOS windshields DO have problems with delamination, 
MANY also do not. A NOS DeLorean windshield costs less than $400 
(plus shipping).
