Windshield storage boxes

[Paul Proefrock]

Looking for ideas on how to store the windshield for my RCR GT40. The forum search found this one article:

Does anyone have other suggestions.

Couple of ideas.

Boxes from Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, etc...I shipped two windshields cross country via Greyhound. Boxes were from hot water heaters but those establishments crush all kinds of big cardboard boxes. Made some closed cell blocks of foam so the shield just floated in the box. Then wrapped the entire affair in plastic wrap. They both made the trip unscathed.

Motorcycle shops sometimes have crates.

Paul, may be an old metallic storage cabinet should fit.

Google search - no personal experiance.

How do professional glass shops receive new windshields? Can you get some universal one way packaging from them?

I keep my spare one in the box it came from Ricky Evans.

Wrapped mine with 4 layers of moving blankets and put it on top of Storage rack.
