So does that mean my '69 GTX has side windshields? Now when I'm inquiring about tinted door and quarter glass do I have to state "I'm looking for tinted front door windshields and driver's and passenger's rear side windshields"?
What kind of reaction do you think you would get at the local Autozone if you asked for a replacement rear "windshield" wiper blade for your wife's minivan.......might as well pick up some blinker fluid and some 710 while you're at it
Actually to really confuse the issue.......the SAE calls it "glazing"
