Does an E28 Windshield fit in an E28?

Post by LeiseyJr »

Picking one up from a friend, wondering if I can squeeze it in the car or will need to borrow a larger vehicle from someone.

I've fit them in before, laying on the reclined passenger seat IIRC. Obviously support it in a couple of different places so it doesn't bounce and crack, it's pretty flexible when out of the car.

to echo aforementioned sentiments, yes, it will certainly fit. i stuffed a complete Supersprint center section in my e30m3 last week. tight, but it worked.

Yes, I’ve done it myself. Passengers seat needs to be fully laid flat, you’ll likely need to scoot it forward as well to get flat enough. I used a memory foam mattress topper to pad under the glass, which worked great, but a bunch of pillows and quilts can work as well.

It fit in the backseat. Had place it an angle, friend who was helping me rode in passenger seat.

Thanks Y'all.

I do remember when I brought my windshield home from the dealer, thinking that I really didn't want to get in an accident with that big piece of glass ready to slice my head off. :)
