Default 67 Vette windshield
does anybody know the best place to buy a replacement windshield?
most of the LOF ones say Made in Mexico?
I don't need a date coded one, just one not made in Mexico
Thanks, Ron

It is my understanding that all the replacement 1963-67 windshields come from the same plant in Mexico

That's what I'm finding out and also some come from Tialand!
I wonder how NCRS handles this situation? I really don't want that on my windshield, still researching. Thanks for responding, Ron

I'll call them on Monday, some of the ones I've seen with the tint at the top really looks "too tinted" like a harsh line. Didn't know just getting a windshield would be so much trouble. thanks, Ron

NOBODY makes a tinted windshield that will pass judging without a "configuration" deduction for the contour of the shade band; that's just the way it is.
