It is just the windshield, the moulding, retainer blocks, etc... will ship separately. I ask because I have a replacement windshield en route, but can only ship up to 70 pounds to an APO/FPO address. The crate it is coming in weighs 27 pounds. Please advise!

Thanks

I've R/R a windshield before-I don't think it weighs over 50-lbs with the moulding

I appreciate the effort, but that doesn't do me any good. I need to know the EXACT weight, and google so far has turned up nothing. =(

You gonna have to actually put it on a scale and determine the weight-we don't have that type of information here-that was my guesstimate-Sorry!

Not a problem! I am just amazed that I can find out what some celebretard in Hollywood ate for lunch on a Tuesday in 2005, but I can't find any details on the damned windshield hahah! I have tried every search engine I know, and all I get back when I type in "Ford Ranger windshield dimensions and specifications" or "windshield weight" is a bunch of crap on windshield wipers. The main problem is I am in Europe, and the glass has to ship from the US to APO, or else I am going to get raped on taxes, which will be more than the price of the glass. The other is that I am 6 hours ahead of Eastern Time, and VERY impatient (as you have no doubt noticed) about getting the windshield shipped. As I said, I do appreciate your help.
