thanks for the detailed info. so the year code on the Plexi. doesn't always indicate what year of car it was installed on, example would be a mid year cars vs. new models coming out in the same year such as a Aug 65 car vs a new 66 manufactured in late 65. splitting hairs I know, just want to have some answers for the CC guys who pick our cars apart through their lack of knowledge.
