1970 versus 1975 windshield differences ?
OK - 75 Corvette ... new 1970 rear clip (including WS frame).
I need to have a WS installed. I think I need a 75 WS - due to wiper system.
The 75 firewall and wiper system is installed.
Does anyone know the differences 1970 vs 1975 ?
I think just the bottom (where wipers sit) is different.
Does anyone have pics of these areas (either 70 or 75 ??)
THANKS !!!
Need WS in next week to start driving.
(they just ran the street sweeper up my street - green light)

Thank you Al, that helps alot.
It looks like your wiper stop (keeps 'em from falling down off the glass)
is a flat sheet metal type ... recall mine is more like a U shaped
heavy steel wire. I thought the one I took off the 70 was like
yours.

The 70 WS frame has raised areas on each side, where the 75 glass covers.
So, 75 glass ain't gonna work. I have to use '70.
I'd like to see some 70 pics, to determine if I will have issues installing
the 70 glass with my 75 wiper setup.
