1968 RS window glass. My drivers side window has some deep scratches in it. I was told to stay away from the repro stuff . Is this true. Any suggestions on who sells good glass. Are the repos ok?

thanks

We just usually have the local glass shop come out and do onsite install. Give a few around you a call, tell them what you need and get a price check.

I think the repro glass is just fine. If you want to date code it, there are companies that will remove the Pilkington logo and replace it with a correct looking LOF logo.

If you go that route, I'd take a very critical look at the other glass on your car. I thought my side pieces looked pretty good, so I just bought new windshield and back glass. After I got the new pieces, the rest no longer looked as good. It will cost me almost as much to replace the 4 pieces as the entire set of 6 would have cost.

thank you. I will go with the repo.

I ordered all new factory tinted glass directly from Pilkington's a couple of years ago. They still make the original replacement glass. I had it date coded with the original LOF etching (not sure why, but it sounded good at the time).
Shipped all 6 pieces to my house for around $600.
Check out their website. Go to the Classics link.

i agree with the above post.last year a got a complete set of tinted glass [green] for my 67 rs/ss from pilkington in columbus,ohio.a little over a grand,but nice,show car quality...good luck..denny

thanks how hard are they to install.

in my case,i am no body man.install was pretty much the norm.the side and 1/4 glass were hard for me to adjust but i had never done it before.my car is a 67,so the wing windows were no treat.it takes time and beer to keep your cool.just jump in there and good luck..denny

Have you tried getting a scratch repair kit for buffing out the scratches or ask a glass shop if they can fix it. I took my truck to one but they said mine was to messed up the farmer that owned it must of been to lazy to put on a new wiper blade and now it has a big scratch I will buy the kit from eastwood and try to fix mine my self.
