OEM Windshield

I forgot where it was but my ford dealer could source one. Safelite just had to order it. Check with your ford dealer and then see if they can have it with the OEM horse.
When my son worked at Safelite they were able to get them. But they were $$$ and the wait time could be long. But that was around Covid time.
What about having the chip repaired?

There’s a big crack running from the chip already

Ok. On my phone it just looked like the sun reflecting.
I got an OEM (or maybe not an OEM but has the pony) a few years ago (2 or 3). You need to specify you want the Running Pony on it. I think I had to pay an extra $100 even with glass coverage but was worth it to me.

I doubt any of them are NOS, even the ones from a dealer are going to be aftermarket, these cars are 20+ years old
That was the hold up for me. They could get the glass without the pony in a couple days. The glass with the pony was a special order.
I’ll call safelite. I didn’t see as an option when going through their online appt setup. I’ll see what they say.
I’m worried about getting the running pony and not just some bare glass.

FWIW,
- Carlite's trademarked "SoundScreen" windshields weren't installed on Ford products until ~2007.
- I do not know if a replacement made today for a pre 2007 Ford would even be made with SoundScreen materials.
- I've read articles stating that some aftermarket windshields lack the structural integrity of OEM windshields. That did not surprise me.

This place buys and parts out cobras. Maybe give them a call and see if they can sell you one?
You can still get factory OE Carlite glass. Any glass installer can get it, or you can order the windshield from the dealer. My suggestions is use an independent local glass installer.

DW1395GTY is the OE part number, and yes, you want to call a locally owned store front glass company, NOT the national company. The average tech there has 2-3 years experience and won't know jack about your New Edge. I'd plan to drop the car off to whoever does the work, and be prepared to buy a new cowl too.
I didn’t even think about Tasca Ford. Thanks.You can still get factory OE Carlite glass. Any glass installer can get it, or you can order the windshield from the dealer. My suggestions is use an independent local glass installer.

I’ll be making some calls here soon. Thanks for all the help, gents.
Just put a new cowl on last summer. Oh well…
If it's that new it might still be ok. I think they have to pull the A pillar trim to replace the glass which makes it a lot easier to replace the cowl.
On that note, where's a good place to get a cowl? I tried to order one from LMR, but it's forever backordered. I ordered a replacement online for my daughter and it never fit the way it should.

I went aftermarket from LMR. Fit was OK; my OEM was cracked so anything was an improvement. I don’t think anyone knows it’s aftermarket if that helps.
Are you near Tasca Ford in Rhode Island? Or would you have it shipped to you and installed locally?
Shipped unfortunately….I’ll call some local places. I have 2 local auto-glass places within 10 minutes. I’ll see when they say first.
I’m that guy that removes the cowl and a pillars before bringing it in so they don’t break it. I know how to take it off easy. Was in and out quick. I also went to a local glass shop that has old seasoned guys doing the work. They brought me out to the floor to show me a rock chip on the top painted part before they started. I knew it was there, but they didn’t want to be blamed for it which was cool and fine by me.
