I've just had my front windscreen replaced by a classic car specialist and thought some might be interested in a problem we encountered. The maker of the screen is AGP (American Glass Products) but I don't know which plant it came out of. The part # is DW-0413 and it is tinted with a darker band at the top and from what I understand this is probably the only brand that can be obtained over here.
The problem relates to size, specifically the height of the screen from top to bottom. I wasn't aware we had a problem until the new screen was installed so couldn't actually measure new against old. However, from what the installer told me, the new one is shorter by maybe as much as 3/8" and he had to pack it out to raise it so the thing would seal at the top. By the way, a new Steele rubber was installed at the same time. I thought that this is something to be aware of if you are considering fitting a new screen.
For those Aussies amongst us, if you need a new windscreen and are finding it hard to locate one, I suggest you try Ralph Moore. He is very helpful and his details are as follows:
