I had a customer tell me I had sent him the wrong trim clips. He said he wanted them for the REAR windshield not the FRONT windshield. He placed the order himself and ordered FRONT WINDSHIELD clips but said he just saw the "windshield" part and ordered them so it MUST be my fault for not sending him the rear ones that he actually wanted. You can't make this ship up! I was under the impression the back glass is called the REAR WINDOW (and thats what the heck I'll continue to call it).

So I had to Google this dilemma and this is what I ran across. Kinda funny.

I suppose I could call the rear window a windshield if I had a tailwind greater than my momentum? Other than that, it's rear window.

Come on "OLD GUYS" get with the times. grin

No different then going through say a 1975 mopar parts book and the terms they used for items we never hear today... some odd words in them books.

Ever hear of a cowl MUCKET filler.... that lil rubber part at the bottom corner of a new mopar windshield to cowl. me neither till I needed one.

Its still a rear window to me.

I have heard that numerous times but it doesn't sound right to me.
Ma Mopar did have some unconventional sounding terms.
Propeller shaft = Drive shaft.
Rear motor mount = Transmission mount.

It's not Mopar specific, it's the proper term as is propeller shaft and transmission mount.
What is a backlite?

What annoys me even more so is that now ANYTHING and EVERYTHING with 4 wheels is simply called 'a car'. Truck, van, bus, RV, etc, etc are all cars now.

It never really bugged me until someone sent me searching for a car, when it actually was a truck.

What annoys me more then that is how everything that used to be called a wagon or a crossover or even a hatchback is suddenly now called an SUV. Might as well start calling minivans that too since they're closer to an suv then some of the other vehicles labelled that.

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"? shruggy wink 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 laugh2

Actually to really confuse the issue.......the SAE calls it "glazing" wink

Mike

FMVSS 205:

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205 – Glazing Materials
Glazing standards are regulated by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205.

From 49 CFR Ch. V (10-1-04 Edition).

§ 571.205 Standard No. 205, Glazing materials
S1. Scope. This standard specifies requirements for glazing materials for
use in motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment.

S2. Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to reduce injuries resulting
from impact to glazing surfaces, to ensure a necessary degree of transparency in motor vehicle windows for driver visibility, and to minimize the possibility of occupants being thrown through the vehicle windows in collisions.

S3. Application and Incorporation by Reference.

S3.1 Application. This standard applies to passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, slide-in campers, pickup covers designed to carry persons while in motion, and low speed vehicles, and to glazing materials for use in those vehicles. For motor vehicles and glazing equipment manufactured before September 1, 2006, the manufacturer may, at its option, comply with 49 CFR 571.205 revised as of October 1, 2003 instead of this version.
