windshield

looking for a replacement tinted windshield for my 1970 442 convertible due to lots of scratches from bad wiper blades. want something as close to original as possible to match the rest of the factory tinted windows on the car.

Just order it from your local glass shop. It's a standard front windshield. All you have to do is let them know if you want the top sun tinted or not. I have bought from PS Autoglass before and am happy with their stuff. Their price on this is $140.00

Here's their link, it's the windshield at the bottom of the page http://www.psautoglass.com/store/Scr...idCategory=995

Charlierogers, do you need the antenna in the windshield? If so, I have a brand new, never installed Pilkington tined one. If I recall, the number on the sticker is DW752. It came with a 69 442 basket case and was not correct for the car since the 69's don't have the antenna in the glass. I have a new correct one for the 69 ordered from PS Auto Glass that should arrive this week so I will have a shipping crate in the event you would need it shipped. I'd take $100 obo plus the shipping or pick it up in MD. PS Auto Glass charges $110 for shipping to a business or $140 to a residence as it ships via truck freight. Let me know if you are interested.

Convertibles take a different windshield than the solid roof cars. The outside corners at the top are trimmed rounder to fit past the anchoring mechanism for the roof. My vert has a windshield from a hardtop but the corners have been trimmed to fit.
