Best Windshield for 70 442

Ok, I haven't seen any original ones close to me. (SE Ohio) So, what is the best aftermarket windshield?

Thanks

I would say any thing made a USA, with the built in antenna, works for me.

Troy,
The post coupe that John has at his shop is owned by a guy that owns a glass shop. He supplied the front, doors and quarter glass for mine.

John mentioned Pilkington glass. That's what he bought for the 68 vert. Just didn't know anything about the glass companies now a days, if one is better than the other. We thought we would throw it out there, and see what others had to say.

windshield

I just replaced my windsield with a Pilkington glass on my 69 Cutlass convertible. Costs more than others but fits great.

We tried another cheaper brand but the width dimension was too short. Before ordering, be aware there are differences between hardtops and verts, tints and radio antennas.
