repop dated glass

[302moz]

Who sells the best repop dated glass for a 68 camaro. I have purchased some from Pilkington in the past and it was spotted in the sunlight. Is OEM better? or all the same??? thanks John

Pelkington is garbage! Friend installed it in a '67 Camaro and the door window curve is not even close........junk.

Some guy in Chicago, Paul's Auto Glass is suppose to be good.

I purchased mine for my Chevelle (clear glass) from PS Auto Glass. They dated it for me also.

I have had very good luck with PS Auto Glass. Quick turnaround even when dating. The spotiness in the glass will be in everyones as far as I know due to the federally mandated process when the glass is produced.

I just put OEM dated glass in my 1970 Camaro and it looks great.
The shop had no complaints about the fit and the trim looks fine. I had to pay up for it, but I'm glad I did.

Is OEM the brand name of a Reproduction Glass Co? If so do you have a number? Or is this a reference to PPG/LOF?

OEM is the name of a restoration glass supplier here in Illinois. You can Google them. I'm sure the tinted dated glass I bought for my Chevelle was Pilkington which is as good as it gets for replacement glass. If you buy new replacement tinted glass you will see spots. I found it very helpful to view my car WITHOUT sun glasses.

I've used Auto City Classics dated glass on 2 cars, and haven't has any problems. I believe that they are less expensive than the others. They do not use Pilkington. Also, you can order the glass and pick up at Carlisle to save shipping. (763) 444-5880

I have been hearing that the windshield thickness of the repop glass is not the same as original, that it is thinner and thus does not sit at the same height as stock glass. This in turn apparently causes the stainless trim to angle down to sit against the windshield and looks noticeably wrong. Has anybody encountered this?

What is the recommendation for sealing the windshield? Is the butyl tape available? I heard the suggestion that the tape was available in thicker than stock size to help place the windshield at the correct (stock) height.

I'd like to get this done right the first time so appreciate any thoughts on the subject.
