Was getting the 345 ready on Saturday for a local bike race and saw a huge crack in the windshield.  Looks like it started in a little chip and worked it's way down. 

Calling the insurance company on Monday but does anyone already know a supplier?  Airstream?

OMG! That is awful!

One of my biggest fears with any of the old things I have restored.

They can be made, Still, not sure of a vendor that can due it, contact a windshield supplier...

I ran across these guys a while ago, http://www.dcmco.com/dcmrvcomp.htm, not sure if they really are what they say, but better than nothing. Let me know if they have anything.

Do let us know who and where you find a replacement from. I too fear a cracked windshield more than anything else. One time I was calling around and scouring the forums for a side window replacement for my '85 unit, and the only thing i found out was, well not very much. Although I remember seeing a post somewhere by Andy at inlandRV that the only windows still available for classic mohos are for the drivers side, passengers side and windshield!

Steve, I have a receipt from Nov 2002 where my dad had one of the windshields replaced ('82 280). I don't know if they actually found the windshield or if my dad had found the windshield and they just installed it. This place is just a wee bit out of the way for you, but if you don't find anything, you may just want to give them a call and see if they have a supplier they could point you to.
