It is an A/C car and they swear it should have a tinted windshield because of that. No sheet on the car just tag so we can not see if it should be a solid tinted front windshield or clear. Does anyone know if the A/C would affect if it is tinted or not? Also who is a supplier of date code windshields tinted or clear? thanks 1969.5 A12 Bee EV2 1971 Charger RT 1973 Duster tubbed 500 low deck 10.90 monster 3 440 polara vert projects

Or is it tinted all the way down? 1969.5 A12 Bee EV2 1971 Charger RT 1973 Duster tubbed 500 low deck 10.90 monster 3 440 polara vert projects

Does anyone know if the A/C would affect if it is tinted or not?... AFAIK, tinted windshield/glass is usually coded on the fender tag. Are there any "G" codes on the tag? Refer to the G11/15/21 codes in my post above. EDIT: I don't have any fender tag pics from a '70 car coded for tinted windshield/glass, but here are 2 '69s and a '71. 8096137-tintedglassfendertags.jpg (50 downloads) Last edited by moparfan53; 04/01/14 02:03 AM.

This is referred to as a "shaded" WS.. shade band at the top, while the rest of the WS is tinted.. No, a clear WS is not going to be that big of a difference to your AC... BUT, I can't imagine why anyone would use a clear WS when replacing unless you had a 1 of hemi purchased from the little old lady who drove it to church on sundays... 8096713-5554552-vertbaseball2.jpg (52 downloads)
