    Would you drive your car with no windshield?

    The shop that's doing my vinyl top is 45 Kms from my place. The trip is concession and regional roads only.

    I'd like to clean, prep and treat the window channels before it goes but that means the windshield needs to come out.

    Towing is a $250 option

    Would you drive it that far with no windshield?
    Tow it?
    Just ask the shop to pull the window and do the prep?

    I'm not sure of the applicable laws but there are plenty of motor vehicles that don't have a windshield or it can be folded down.

    Done it in the past, would do it again.
    Gotta keep speeds down so back window makes the whole trip of course.

    I would do it for sure, especially with the back window out.

    I would find some sort of vintage plane goggles and leather cap for the trip

    Damn, if the back window wasn't coming out... I was going to suggest just driving backwards :P
