ea81 hatch windshield ??'s
jc whitney is your best bet and a jy windsheild because if the windsheild has never been replaced you'll never get the gasket out in one piece or try glass place around you there a chance one of them may still have one in stock they usually run about $65-75 if that helps:)

battery question
did you have then test that new alt. because most of them rebuilds are junk your best bet is to get a jy one or have a professional rebuild it i bought a brand new alt. took it to a pro and he pulled it apart and it had a bent bendix he said it wouldn't of lasted more than a week usually you'll go though 5 or 6 before you get a good one because they use the cheapest parts to rebuild them and most rear defoggers do draw alot of amps especially if you have any thing else on with it so don't use it :cool:
