Temps are going to be in the 40s this week. I'm getting the itch to work on the Dart.

Where is the best place to get a windshield for the Dart? Local glass shops can get them, but I have read that the replacements being "too thin". Is this hear-say or is there something to it?

Thanks!

If you can live with tinted, then your local glass guy may be the ticket. But if you need a clear, then AMD is the only source I know of. I used Dixie for mine a while back. Good people to do business with.

Don't forget the gasket.

Don't know if your car is a 2-door hardtop, or a post car.

I have a brand new gasket for a sedan (2-door post, or 4-door car) that I bought by accident when I was doing mine.
I could make you a deal on it if it will work for you.

Worse yet, I have a 1968 convertible Barracuda. Try finding anything for the front windshield besides the glass!

I used a replacement for my old 67 fastback (same glass) and had no trouble with it. I have no idea if it was thin or not, but it sealed fine.

Thanks guys. I have the new gasket already.

When you say tinted, are you referring to the blue/green band at the top of the windshield?

If you can't find a new one , maybe an excellent used one is possible . not sure what model you have but you have a 9 year spread I think . if its a 2 dr ht , you have from 67 to 76 in dodge and plym A bods to source out. I could be wrong on the number of years. maybe some of the other members can chime in here .

Car is 2 door hard top.

I don't think the rest of the glass is tinted. But I don't have another to compare against. What would the code be for tinted glass, and where should I look?

Just from looking at the car cover through the side and back glass, it appears that you have clear glass. If your glass were tinted, the cover would look more green when viewed through it.

Tinted glass was standard with factory A/C and as a stand alone option. If your car did not ship from the factory with A/C, then it is unlikely to have had it optioned separately.

You could use either windshield in your car if you wanted. Most people would never notice the difference. And the tinted is usually cheaper, and easier to find.

I have not heard that the new glass is too thin. Mine needed to be clear. And the only current source that I could find was AMD, which was much more expensive than a tinted one from my local glass guy.

The back glass is not in... lol that is why it is so clear looking. I have two used rear windshields. I'll look at them closely, but I think they are clear.

This car did not have factory A/C.

Thanks for the help.

My 68 convertible is coded for a tinted windshield only. Here's what it looks like. I have no idea if it was replaced before I bought it. It was broken and I got a replacement with the car. The replacement is very dark and very green. I don't know what is correct. I don't like that very dark green though.

Update -- I went to Summit to buy a clear one, and the one they had was damaged. My luck.

So, I ordered one from the glass shop that I use for my other cars. It is green, but I knew that when I ordered it.

After some help from a member here, I crossed my build sheet over and the Dart came with a tinted windshield from the factory. This is not a concourse restoration by any stretch, but after looking at it, I went with the tinted one.

My eyes are somewhat sensitive to bright light and night driving, and I figured if I ever put air in the car it will help with that too.

Honestly, I think the clear one would have been "too clear" after seeing both of them.

Picture?

I replaced my windshield with a tinted/shaded one. Just because I already had it from another car and it was brand new.
The local glass place wanted almost $500 for a clear one. made the decision to use the tinted one a no brainer.

I just recently bought one for my 68 Barracuda, purchased on e-bay, had to PU @ the warehouse. The mfg is PGW Glass- formerly PPG and is tinted. Here's a link HTH, Steve

We use Safelite auto glass. Very price competitive, no shipping as they deliver and install the glass. Just had new front and rear glass installed in a customers 69 chevelle for 349.00, SMOKING DEAL!!. We do get a shop discount and we had removed the glass before they got here.
