I think I found a Windshield...

So I saw a windshield today on a craigslist ad, but I didn't want to drive all the way down to where they had it, only to be disappointed. I was wondering would a windshield from a 90 Bronco fit on my 93 XLT?

Yep 100% the same from 1980-1996 Bronco and F series.

A used windshield? I consider that about the same as a used oil filter.

My experience with the "new" discount rate windshields (made in China) has been that even the slightest rock chip will cause them to crack. I would much rather buy a good used factory windshield than a cheap new one. If you have the cash to spend on a quality new one, then that's a different story.

Well it's not the same, used oil fliters actually filter the contaminates & sludge from the oil, whereas windshields just sit there and look pretty, if they don't get all dinged up.
