Help: MSP Windshield Part #

[skilletrx]

Hey all-

I need to replace my windshield thanks to a crack... been looking at quotes online, and noticed the MSP isn't listed on there, is our windshield the same as a regular 2003 protege 4dr?

Also with vendors, is there anything I should look / ask for so I don't get some really cheap glass? jw--

Yes, the regular 2003 Protege 4dr will fit the MSP just fine. That's the windshield I requested when my original one cracked due to a rock hitting it. (If I remember correctly, the Mazdaspeed Protege OEM windshield was not factory tinted at the top of the windshield.) I replaced mine with the regular Protege windshield because it is tinted at the top. The previous owner had a tint strip place on the top of the windshield and I always thought it came a little too far down.

I paid $220 for the complete installation from my local glass/windshield shop. The replacement windshield is made in Mexico, but seems to be pretty good quality.

NONE of the factory windshields had a visor
the MSP glass is thinner than the normal protege one to reduce weight... at the price of strength

I've never hear of that before. Where did you get that info?

BP7H-63-900B is the part number for the msp windshield
BJ0G-63-900D is the regular protege, mp3 and protege5

that probably explains why MSP owners have an issue with them cracking...

At least it saved you a pound or two or weight while it was still intact
