Resources for parts, accessories and other items

There are few parts still available for Sterlings, even fewer for the Sebring, and virtually none for the Cimbria. Windshields are the most common request, and Dave at Sterling Sports Cars has replacements. Those windscreens will also fit the Sebring and the Cimbria, though with modification.

Here's what member Keith Klein had to offer:

Rick,  Sterling windshields will work with Cimbrias BUT require modification to either the windshield itself or the fiberglass in the windshield area of the car.  The shape is correct, but the Sterling windshields are slightly larger.  A glass shop could either trim a 1/4 inch or so off the entire glass piece or the fiberglass can be reshaped slightly.  This is apparently due to the fact that the Cimbria used a rubber trim strip around the outside and the Sterlings were a "drop-in" type.  I found this out the hard way.  I would have had my Cimbria back from the painter's a month ago, but as he was getting ready to put in the windshield, he discovered it wouldn't fit in as it was.  So he's been doing some modifications to make it work.  Unfortunately, I don't think Cimbria owners probably have many options, they will just need to be aware that apparently it isn't a direct swap, but it can be made to work.
Keith added later: Just a quick update on Sterling windshields for Cimbrias.  The body man has been kinda working on my Cimbria when he gets time.  In addition to being slightly larger, apparently Sterling windshields have a slightly greater curve at the base.  This necessitated building a small lip in front of the windshield.  The lip doesn't have to be large (not more than 3/4" high in the middle), but the Sterling windshield will not work without it.  Once it is built and smoothed in and painted, no one will be able to tell anything was done.  The advantage for Cimbria owners would be that they could use a windshield that is somewhat available.  The obvious disadvantage is the work and expense involved.  But, other than using plexiglass, I'm not sure there are any alternatives other than getting extremely lucky and finding Cimbria glass somewhere.e bender,sheet metal,fiberglass,dune buggy seat,MIG,TIG,automobile instruments,automotive tools

Car Covers: Believe it or not, California Car Cover still has OEM covers for Sterlings. Your choice of material: Sterling GT
That link will bring you to the home page. Just scroll to "Sterling", then "GT" under model, and then 1975 will be your only option for year. The covers should fit all year Sterling, Sebring and Cimbria vehicles.

Look for cars for sale using the Nationwide Craigslist link (thanks, Chris!) for something in your area!

The trick is using Google (or another search engine) to do the search. Put the search string below into the Google search box, and it should work.

I like doing this once in a while to look for Fiberfab cars as well. I just replace the word "sterling" with "fiberfab" and hit search. --Chris G.
