Oldsmobile Silhouette Windshield Replacement & Repair

The Oldsmobile Silhouette was one-third of a trio of minivans developed in the early ‘90s, available with seating for seven and boasting easily-convertible seating arrangements.

The design of these minivans was controversial. At the time that the Oldsmobile Silhouette and its siblings were conceived, no one had tried to market a stylish or sporty minivan, and GM felt that this represented a potentially large market segment. They styled these minivans to be lower and sleeker than the competing brands. The extremely large, long and sloped windshield resulted in a long distance to the base of the windshield when sitting in the driver's seat, making for a disconcerting driving experience until the operator could adjust to the "different" proportions. Automotive magazines christened the new minivans "dustbusters" after a household appliance with a similar profile and the appearance was met with mixed reviews from the public.
