Ideas on windshield repair/replacement? 1800

The windshield on my '71 P1800 has a crack from top to bottom, and some discoloration I can't get out. I assume this means I MUST get a new one (can't repair this, right?). None of my local guys (Ann Arbor, MI) including Swedish Engineering has replacement glass. Any ideas? Thanks for your help in advance!

    Don't forget a new gasket. Foreign Autotech has them. This is not a job for a novice and better left to professionals. It takes very little effort to crack a windshield while installing.

    It was about four years ago, but I purchased a new windshield (tinted) directly from a local Volvo dealer (Don Beyer Volvo, Falls Church, VA). You will want to get new windshield molding as well.

    Call the dealership back and help them with the part number-they probably threw their books out in the '90's, so they have no way to look it up.
    They are available.
    Clear-683894- early 1800
    Tinted-683726- probably correct for your '71
