Team,

Has anyone bought and installed the tinted AMD rear windshield
for 68-70 Mopar non-charger B Bodies (Coronet, Satellite, road runner, SuperBee) ??

I bought one...it cost almost $600 with shipping from classic industries
At first glance, standing next to each other it sure looks good and appears to match exactly
but it does NOT!!!!

You can place the new one over the old one and its very close.. the outline is almost perfect
BUT, when you try to place the old one over the new one - you can't

Why?

Because the curved part starting from the side moving toward the center of the windshield
are sculpted downward on the original glass But, they are raised on the repro...

Again, starting with your hand on left side of the glass moving to the right,
your hand will start up, go down, go backup across the center then down then up to the right side

in other words, on the original, the entire glass (not just the edge), follows the contour of the
rear windshield cowl panel (also called the dutchman panel)
on the repro only the edge does.... .

and yes this is the mopar "licensed product" with chrysler logo that I paid an upcharge for...

it physically fits in the frame "flush" but when you attach mouldings or catch a
view of it in the light correctly ,, it doesn't look right at all.

Has anyone run into this?...
Is this an early production defect that they are trying to dump on me?
or is this how they make them?

I would keep my 52 year old piece but it is so badly scratched there is no way to polish it out..
it looks terrible in the light because of so many scratches...
Anyway...

If you've bought and installed one of these - please chime in


Thanks for the ad ...
