ECS. From what they told me, there are only a few manufacturers, and they will only buy one kind. In fact, they don't sell glass for my '70 post car, and it's a bummer. I am sure you could locate the same glass they use elsewhere, but then you wouldn't get the best date coding/pentastar without them, so you might as well just buy from them. Dave is neurotic, that is the kind of guy I want making parts for my car... I did buy a windshield and door glass from him for the Cuda though.

I called Dave, and after a whole bunch of pics and discussions he basically blew me off..... JRD International vintage auto glass. Has anyone dealt with these guys?
Hi Bill, I can assure you that I never "blew you off" so I wanted to take this time to expand on your your peculiar observation of the ordeal. You ordered your glass on January 11, 2008 which was 22-23 months ago. You stated that you needed the glass by mid February and it was sent to you on February 18, 2008. We were not able to get your clear windshield in time so you were provided a full refund for that piece. We only have a sixty day window with our supplier to report any issues with the glass. If the customer reports problems during the warranty period we will replace (including the shipping for the replaced items) or provide a full refund. You did not report any issues with the glass until May 23, 2008. At that point you removed our ability to go back to the manufacturer and issue a warranty claim. As I said in our past conversations, the best we can do is to replace the glass at our cost and also provide the return shipping. In the past we lost a fortune on customers who did not follow the instructions (plainly listed on the shipping containers) to report any issues with the product. To the contrary, those who complained did not open the boxes for months and faulted our company because they did not follow the warranty instructions that were clearly printed. We changed our return policy because the "lifetime guarantee" that customers seemed to think they had was burying us. Just for the record, we get our glass custom made by JRD International. That was the glass you received! PPG is the other glass distributor that we use for supplying quality glass. We have tried most of the other glass suppliers and they are not acceptable. I just wanted to clarify and add some facts to what transpired between us a couple of years ago.

I bought a date coded windshield from ECS. The date-coding is awesome, but it still has the PPG logo on the bottom RH corner!!
I bought side glass from AMD. It seems very good.
Hi Ron, We remove all logos other than those that we put on the glass. If a piece made it through without this happening, we will gladly send a pickup call tag for your windshield to fix the problem. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I am surprised you are satisfied with the incorrect, generic, non-date coded logo that comes on the AMD glass products. Are they not as incorrect as the non-factory PPG glass logo?!
