So I'm in the process of buying a 66 M20E. The pre-buy inspection found 2 cracks (2 inches each) on the upper right corner of the co-pilot windshield. They were stop drilled but the cracks continued... The windshield needs to be replaces and the seller is going to cover the cost. The right side is going to cost approx. $800 parts and labor to replace.
Question is, should I just replace both of the current windshields with a one-piece windshield. (Not the 201 windshield) I have an estimate of $2300 for a one-piece, parts and labor.
Is there and benefit to keeping the 2 windshields separate? What are the benefits of a one-piece? I don't see much difference other than looks and cost.
