Also did you get the green tint or the clear? Was curious if the green tint is nice or should i just stick with clear.
I bought green tint,it's amazing how green it is lying on floor but when installed you see no green st all.It it priced twice as high as a lot of glass kits but well worth it in quality.

I went the same route and would do it again. Buy once, cry once. In the long run, it's the smart money.

Hmmm. My two cents LOl

Go Pilkington. They bought the company (long time ago, maybe changed hands since) that bought the OEM manufacture.

The green tint used to be a little lighter (pre 93' DuPont R34 "stuff").

The fit of Pilkington (in my 2nd gen) is as well as it can be. Remember, these cars had "a lot" of tolerance in them. While one '68 will fit like 'X" car, the 'Y' car won't
fit the same.

My Chinese windshield fit fine (I installed two), but, much much thinner (=less strong). The Pilkington will fit good, and better tint, stronger (and I've installed two of these, one broke and I'm on number two currently)

Pilkington also has a branch (distribution) in AZ, IIRC.

Spend the money on it, worth it, from a glass guy (no longer auto, but did that for 15 years)....

Oh, forgot. I'm pretty sure you can buy direct. As long as they can ship to a body shop or mechanic's shop or glass shop etc, etc, but they will ship direct to a commercial address. Shipping cost is the bummer,

It depends on where you live I think,they shipped mine for free to one of their glass dealers on one of their regular deliveries.Maybe I just got lucky but please see if they have any local deliveries in your area.
