Tough time of year for the boat to be down. My port windshield blew out while trailering yesterday. Lund dealer is checking with factory and Insurance agent looking at other options. Does anyone here have any ideas how to get replacement the quickest? 1998 Lund 1700 Pro-Sport.
Thank you.
There are only a couple windshield manufacturers.
Somewhere on your windshield there will be a name of the manufacture.
Go to their website, and get a phone number for their parts department.
I have done this in the past and they were very helpful.
Your can have the parts shipped overnight directly to you
or the dealer.
The fastest thing you can do is install yourself.
If you are not mechanically inclined let the dealer do it.
Thanks. I will give taylor-made a call.
Sorry to hear this. It could be worse, could’ve had someone behind it cruisin to your best spot. 
If it is flat glass and not curved, any glass shop can cut one to fit for you. Best thing is to take your boat to them and they can size it up and cut one to fit. If it is curved you will have to order one. Hopefully it is flat because it is relatively cheap and quick. Good luck!
Its curved and Taylor Made just informed me they are 4 weeks out. Hopefully Lund has in stock. If they do not Taylor Made says I can order from them. They were extremely friendly. Put Lund to shame. I cant even get a live rep there. Once you identify yourself as a customer they shut you down and refer you to a dealer. Nice.
There’s got to be a boat junkyard somewhere, doesn’t there? Hasn’t that glass been made for many year models? Wonder if a guy could find that used somewhere. Sorry to hear Mike.
One other thing to try is a boat salvage yard for a used one. I don’t know any specific ones but when I was restoring a boat awhile back I just did a search on the internet and a few popped up.
Here’s a few links, search for Taylor Made not Lund, you should be able to find something. I have no idea on the credibilty of the links below, just did a quick search on lunch:

Passenger problem. Not mine. 
I’m ripping out the port frame today. She’ll look gritty and just plain wrong but she’ll float maty.
I’ll probably gain 2 mph on my new pirate vessel! arrrgggg
Mike,
Probably a long shot, but check this out on Craigs list.
Close but not quite. I really appreciate your help. That would have been a sweet deal.
Do you call GM, Ford, Chrysler, or Toyota headquarters when you need a part for your tow vehicle? Lund is just trying to protect their dealers.
By the way, I hope your insurance covers the windshield, I have heard they are very expensive.
