Welcome to Restoration-Mini!!
Can you even buy a windshield like that anymore?

If there are still some toughened ones still available out there a person would have to crazy to try to save a few bucks buying one.
That’s nuts. Raises the question of how do you tell? I’d assume some markings somewhere. Curious as I have no idea if my 65 glass is original or not.
As such, it would be 29 years old. I suspect with age it got enough blemishes in the surface that direct sun and 102*F temps did it in.
Here is a picture:

I think you can buy 5 for the price of 1 if you order from spares.
At least moss got their prices in order vs mania that's 300 bucks to have it shipped.Guess I'm the only one not busting glass with flat head screw drivers
The seal and locking strip on my windshield are is very good condition. I plan to reuse them.
