Glass Replacement
My windshield on my 72 was smacked real good by a rock and needs replaced. My vette is a VERY nice driver but not a show car. Should I pay the extra bucks for a LOF date coded glass or just get a PPG glass replacement? Also, my driver side door glass has several long scratches on it that I can feel with my fingernail. I would like to replace the glass as I have been told that if you can feel the scratches with your fingernail then the glass cannot be repaired. Can a replacement glass be ordered that will have the ASTRO VENTILATION etched into the glass? Anyone had any luck in removing deep scratched from glass? Thanks!

Re: Glass Replacement (yankees1)
If it's my car, a driver, I'm going with the PPG. Same thing with the side glass. If the scratches really bother me, I'm going for an inexpensive replacement.
I had some scratches on the windshield of an old company car I had. I was unable to get them fixed. I could feel the scratch with my nails. I would think repair would be half the cost of new, anyway.
