CIMBRIA Infomation Needed ??

I have a early body and not much else . If i can locate a windshield i may do some thing with the car. Any old stock/used parts out there ?  Have a Modified Corvaire Engine For It. Could be fun. grostetter@mac.com  

Finding a used one might not be easy but I think it takes the same windshield as the Sterling and they are available new from Sterling Sports Cars.

I have just bought a cimbria ss and the windshield is a mess like all others i've ever seen. I have looked at other cars and my own and discovered that the roof appears to sag downwards in the front. The front edge of my doors up on the roof do not sit flush with the roofline. There is around a 3/16th of an inch gap with the front edge of the door being higher than the roof. I believe that the roof sags in front over a period of time due to the fact that those are some real heavy doors and being originally mounted on a single support strut on the rear of the door, forces the weight forward and down. As I have just purchased my car, I have not had time yet to pull the inside padding around the windshield frame off to see if there is any steel framework around the opening or is it only fiberglass. I suspect that the frame opening for the glass is the weak link and the weight of the doors eventually causes the windshields to crack. I have seen other cars as well as my own with the same sag in the roof and I fully intend to get the roof back up to the correct hight in front before spending over $800.00 for new glass. Don't want the same thing happening to the new shield.
My advise to you is to get your doors into the proper closed position and see if your roof is lower than the front edge of your door up on top. If you have a gap there also, you will need to address that problem before installing new glass and also you should get rid of the single support strut and install double struts, one on the front and one on the rear of the door. The new struts can be able to lift half the amount of the original single unit.  

Correcion to that measurement of the space between the roof and doors, it is 5/16th of an inch, not 3/16.  

The Sterling sports cars us a Custom made windshield. www.SterlingSportsCars.com  www.SterlingSportsCars.com  has them in stock. But They are making the Cimbria windshields soon as they have enough pre orders.  

Hi everyone.  I am the one making the Cimbria windshields.  If anyone needs a real Cimbria windshield, please contact me directly at fuzz148@verizon.net.  These are safety, laminated windshields, NOT PLEXIGLASS OR LEXON.  These will have the exact curvature, cut, and size of the original Cimbria or Cimbria SS windshields.  The reason is that the molds are being made from the only known surviving Cimbria windshield that is intact, uncracked, undamaged, and out of a car.  Please let me know if you need one.  These will be made available in January (or hopefully earlier).  But I do not have an exact cost yet because I need to know how many people out there will need them.  Obviously the more I order to be built the cheaper they are going to be.

Truly yours,

Fuzz  

Fuzz,


I saw a post that had this address and claimed you can get me the original windshield I need for my Cimbria?  Mine wasn't in bad shape but one crack vertically on the pasangers side.  I plan on restoring this car soon.  Seeing your post really made me happy.  I'll take two if you can keep the cost down.  If not, I'll buy one.

For others that tried Neiria for getting a windshield: The gentelman who owned those molds has passed away. RIP  (I talked to him years ago, but even then, he wasn't active enough to help)
