Your suggesstions/recomendations are appreciated. Eric Read There is a guy named Ruffino out in the Costa Mesa area that has a lot of 914 experience; I spoke to him awhile ago but never had him come out. I too need a WS installed now and need to recontact him. He was recommended through the forum here. group install?

Eric,
Ruffino's number is 714-292-5811. He will come to you and can do the rubber trim if you want to switch. Price is really reasonable. He has done 3 for me plus in/outs for painting. Good Guy Jim |

Not trying to hijack the thread but does anyone know of someone who can do this in the KC area? I need to have my windshield replaced too.
Thanks. |

Jim;
I spoke to Ruffino - You're right. His pricing is very reasonable. I am arranging for him to replace my window immediately after my new paint has dried. My thanks. And as for mojorison914 - Maker's Mark is still the best sipping whiskey I have ever experienced. I have a barrel in storage with my name on it in Loretto, KY. It's another year or so before they tap it. And yes, I am a Kentucky Colonel (but you can call me Eric). Eric Read |

Does anyone have pictures of his install? i spoke to him and described that I want the universal seal with the chrome strip in it and I wanted the black paint on the perimeter done.
He seemed to understand perfectly, but I get reluctant when i hear "yeah, yeah, no problem...". |

He really knows his stuff. I have the all black outer seal with the inside edge painted; Dan, Proto 31, had the rubber with the stainless strip installed. The guy is a pro with a ton of 914 experience on both front and rear glass.

So he supplied the seal with the stainless strip, painted the glass and installed it?
I am ready to pull the trigger and do it! |
