Default Windshield price ?

Hi
I wonder what a new windshield for my 68 convertible costs.
Are they still available ?
What's the price for normal and tinted front and door windshields ?
I'm presently watching those on E-Bay and see that a lot of people want it.
Is there a difference between NOS and possibly aftermarked ones ?
I'm just curios for a possible future damage to them.
Thanks, Gunther
:rolleyes:

For a tinted '69 aftermarket less than $150 USD a few years back.

I JUST REPLACED MINE ON MY 68 COUPE. I PAID $120.00 INSTALLED BY SAFELITE AUTO GLASS. I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE DOOR GLASS.

Gunther - If factory correct is important and you want the LOF stamp and correct date code, I believe your looking somewhere around 4 or 5 hundred US. for a reproduction unit. I don't have the catalog with me hre at work.

Don't all of the aftermarket replacements have the black-out around the perimeter? And our original windshields are clear to the edge.

Had no problem getting new sidelights either and there is a ton of used out there. The one piece that may be getting a bit hard is the rear glass for the removal hardtop.
