Title: Drivers Glass
Post by: Shelby68GT500 on June 08, 2023, 02:20:54 PM
My drivers glass is badly scratched and I'm starting the search for a replacement. Are there any specific codes on the glass that would identify tinted versus non-tinted? I've attached a picture of the Carlite labeling on my scratched glass. Assuming it is original, would it be safe to say finding a replacement with that exact labeling would be correct?  Or would other codes also be correct? Originally a CA AC/4Sp car, February build

"SUN-X" refers to a tinted piece of glass

If you are concerned about matching the date code, 7G is the date code (7=1967, G=July).  Check the other pieces of glass and use that as a range.  Coupe, convertible and fastback are all different.

. KR, are there different Carlite codes identifying whether it's for a FB or Vert?

The fastback glass is the only door glass with a rounded corner

Not on the glass to be used to identify it.
