Then... in another conversation... he told me BDR didn't currently have anyone to make the replacement glass for the aluminum frames.

What I can't help but wonder... BDR is out of stock for replacement glass for an aluminum frame... and has been for well over a year to my knowledge... yet... during that same time... they seem to continue to sell roadsters with aluminum windshield frames. Where does the glass for those new roadsters come from... and why can't they get glass for replacements?

Like Grey 65 mentioned... sadly... you HAVE been dealing with the "headquarters".
I was wondering too, why they show out of stock on their web site and are still building cars.

I always thought DOT approved glass needs to have the manufacturer number markings on it (DOT normally assigns a number to every approved manufacturer), but there is nothing on mine.
