What is the windshield in the Manxter? Is it an actual beetle windshield

The Manxter windshield is glass.  Only Bruce & Winnie know the source window that it is cut from, and they are not telling.  I do know it is not a SB.

hmm.. so if it busts one would be SoL?

Speaking from experience, a replacement is no problem.  A quick phone call to Winnie, a good credit card, and it was at the Greyhound bus stop in a week.

Thanks Grumpy. I'm considering getting a Manxter and I'm just looking at all the possible future problems. I wish Bruce had used a pre-existing windshield, if they ever shut down operations Manxter owners are going to be in trouble when they chip a windshield.

Here's a tip - when you buy the kit, buy an extra windshield.  Yes, we have an extra, just in case.  I even have an extra for the Kick-Out SS, you never know when they will stop making them.    Tom

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking Tom.

Rumor has it they are cut down from a Toyota truck, but which one ???? Rumor further has it they are cut out of country. But, this is all right out of "Rumor Control".

Bruce and Winnie are reasonable folks and a simple call to them would answer that question.

I would not worry about windshields in Manxters as I have let every one" drive my Manxter "like they stole the Manxter" and every thing but windshield has been dinked. When you buy the kit just take the windshield to a glass place and have a pattern made.  I don't mind give B/W a few bucks. Bruce put lots of design work  into the Manxter and Winnie puts lots of effort in keeping Bruce working/focused. 
Thanks Bruce!!

ClaraBill - does that mean your Manxter is going to be a Manxter S soon?  If you need tips, let me know.  Or, go to the Mammoth lakes event & check out Kathleen's car in person.  Tom
