    Windshield Replacement

    Spider crack all across the passenger side ...
    For those of you that have had your MM windshield replaced, anything MM specific I should know? Is our windshield different than a CV or GM?
    If so, will the insurance company pay for an exact copy, or do I have to pay extra? (Keep in mind here in FL window replacement is "free"...)
    I have Esurance (Allstate).
    Thanks,
    Jim

    i had to replace mine the first week I got it driving home rock came up and busted it then about 3 months later a gravel truck with a unsecured load did the same thing insurance paid for both no cost to me I requested oem ford and that's what I got. Nothing special about the install make sure to use the right sealant adhesive stuff and don't forget the little wedges at the bottom they help center it top to bottom.

    I know the windscreen in 300As is Marauder-specific...not sure about '04s...do you have the dot-matrix pattern around the rear-view mirror in addition to the blue sunshading?

    The glass is the same but the mount for the mirror is different, and the mount will come with the glass, so make sure they know it's for a Marauder. Also request OEM glass and not the china after market glass.
    I actually replaced the windshield in my CVPI, and then tried to mount the MM mirror. Had to glue the MM mount to the CVPI mount to get the mirror on.

    Only specific places carry Carelite. Go to Carelite website and do a search.

    I have had mine replaced a few times with oem Carlite. It has the dot matrix & top tint. As our car ages my insurance co. said they are no longer required to use Carlite brand & can use lesser quality. I insit & will pay the difference you can see the quality.

    Yes I do have the dot matrix. Just wondering if they will spring for an actual MM windshield with the dm pattern, glass co hasn't called yet, claim is still processing.

    Not sure what brand I got, but it was installed by a local Safelite and looks identical to the original.

    I'm on my second windshield, same thing Bob (RF) said, specify the dot matrix with the "blue" tint band under that. Heck I never even noticed the blue band until Silversurfer pointed mine out in Louisville a few weeks back.

    Carlite FTW.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
