I've done an initial search for a DW881 windshield (part # Cadillac hearse/limo between 1980 - 1992) and have come up with a big zero. The company, Bartelstone Glass, out of New Jersey I bought the windshield for my 92 Caddy hearse from about 6 years ago has been bought out by Mygrant Glass (California). Put a request in to Mygrant Glass to find you a windshield. Get the number, usually lower LH corner of windshield when facing front of car (think it will be DW 881 but may not be). The windshield, shipping & installation cost me around total of $800 CAN, Speedy Glass did the installation and I was very pleased with their service. From the time I ordered the windshield to being installed was 10 days. Crystal Glass had quoted me an installed price of $2400 IF they could locate a windshield. A friend in Calgary got one installed in his hearse for $300 because the glass shop he went to had two hearse/limo windshields in stock at the time - by the time I called the shop a couple days later after I spoke with him the 2nd windshield was gone, it's really luck of the draw, if you're patient enough and put some feelers out hopefully the windshield won't cost more than you paid for the car. Knowing the cost of these special windshields I gladly pay the chip repair cost every time (frequent in this part of the country) my windshield gets a ding. If you wish to call me my cell is 780-907-9457. Good Luck

If you're feeling rich to the tune of around $3200 ($2000 for the mold, $1200 for the glass) use this company in Burbank, California http://alanautoglass.com/
