Order the glass from your favorite Delorean vender and discuss
installation with them. They will tell you to arange for one of the
local glass shops to do it. Make sure they understand what kind of car
it is. Many shops will come to your house and do it right there in the
driveway while you watch or if you prefer you can drive it to the shop
and have it done there. Many shops don't recomend driving it for a day
or 2 till it drys so my choice would be to get it done at home. When
shipping go for the extra money and insure for breakage. Don't forget
the special rubber pad for the rear-view mirror and make sure the 2
clips on the bottom are not bent down, they are supposed to keep the
glass from sliding down and cracking which is what may be the case here.

it has developed a windshield crack on the bottom, passenger side,
about 7" long up from the base of the windshield (at about the mid
point of the wiper blade). Here is Massachusetts, a crack that small
will fail annual inspection - which is next month for me. So if I
want to drive my car past May, I have to get this fixed. Now also in
MA, glass with no deductible is covered on all insurance policies. 
So, how do people suggest I get this replace or repaired? Should I
order an NOS windshield to be shipped up here, and installed by a
local shop? If so, what kind of shop? It would be too expensive to
go back down to Rob Grady's this year (I was just there in December)
just for this repair. I also doubt the insurance company will fork
over the cost of a NOS windshield ($400), and insist on a third-party
glass - if they exist. Does anyone have personal experience or
suggestions?
