Re: Windshield For 1992 ZR1

Thank you both Dave's!
The information you both provided was excellent. I think I will leave well enough alone with the replacement windshield which is in great shape.

What's different about a ZR-1 windshield ?

They are not available as I know of, I just happen to find one, luck I guess.

They had a transparent "layer" to reduce interior heating and, possibly, glare. (There was a "cutaway" in the "layer" so that radar detectors or other electronics would work.)

GM #10172489. They carried a GM list price of over $2,500 when they were discontinued.

The LT-5 was larger in size than the Chevy small block, which is typically the case for an overhead cam motor. To help with space in the engine compartment, a phyisically smaller AC compressor was used (I believe it was from a Japanese vehicle). It did not have the capacity of the GM unit normally used for Vettes, and the purpose of the solar windshield was to reduce cabin heating.

This 90 ZR1 only has 43 original miles but shows delamination in the corners...

Mark, that is an awesome car! Love the fact that it has never been prepped.

I have a 92' ZR1 I bought new, if they gave an award for the worst case of delamination I would definitely win it.

The worse example of windshield delamination that I've ever seen was on the last ZR-1 produced which is on display at the National Corvette Museum. Interesting to look at though!
