Would you drive your car with no windshield?

[Uncle Buck]

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.

Back window coming out too

[Jack Raccoon!]

Wear a helmet with face shield down and gloves, or at least wear a covid face shield keep your hands down below the dash Stones hurt...

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

absolutely Goggles Paisano!

(can we say that anymore? or will it trigger the right?)

[IanGTCS]

Full face helmet and gloves and go. You don't want a rock to the face.

Back window coming out too

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

[92redragtop]

Put up a window net on the sides for extra points

[Uncle Buck]

You guys aren't much help. Lol

I don't know about your area but around here those tiny black fly's called midges have been swarming around bigtime.

Bad enough riding a bicycle through those swarms.
They can easily get in your eyes,mouth,nose,ears.
Hate those damn things.

Helmet on and visor down = send it!!!!

If you want fancy you can go with this LOL. But in all seriousness it’s not really worth it.

Towing is a $250 option. Yes please.

Would you drive it that far with no windshield? NFW

Tow it? Of course.

Just ask the shop to pull the window and do the prep? You might be on to something here.


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. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

It all sounds good until you take a rock/debris to the eye, forehead or throat.

Go buy a cheap piece of plexiglass type stuff at home depot, trim it to fit, duct tape it in place.. You need to watch Roadkill more. lol They do it all the time and it works great. Keep in mind with no back window exhaust fumes might be a problem but it's only 45kms
