There's a bloke in langwarrin who did my car: Top Class Windscrens.
He said he can get newies (didn't for me I already had them).

I found National Windscreens to be the cheapest but found the quality of workmanship, care, etc of Windscreens O'brien to be much higher when I was living in Melbourne so as far as i was concerned worth that bit extra.

I had one made not long ago, so in a way yes, but not off the shelf.

i think they run on the idea that stones don't usually go thru the rear....
or, there's just not enough demand to justify the production full time.

The other thing is if any are salvaged from scrapped cars there will be a set of spares out there in random sheds I guess.
I know I have a full spare set of glass for my car, just incase! :D
