I know, another midyear windshield question. But, I have researched all the archived posts and didn't find a clear answer but they did partially diagnose my situation. I plan on having my 67 coupe judged at Frisco. All the glass is dated and is correct except the windshield which was replaced. It's an A01, ac car so we're again at the "dreaded what tint is correct" discussion. However, the replaced w/s is a Shaded E-Z-Eye Safety Plate dated YV (appears to be Oct 69). From the archived posts, the E-Z-Eye glass was an OEM correct replacement as to shading but wasn't TFP for the 67 Corvette models in 1967. The blue tint ribbon looks correct to the JG pic as to it flaring out at the outer edges.
So here's the question: from what I have read, the ws in the car will only lose 20% of org points assuming condition is 100%. Or, should I go with the new Pilkington tinted ws dated correctly which could lose 50% of org points? Am I assuming correctly on the EZ Eye glass losing less points? Any 67 exterior judges care to lend me some guidance? I've only got 6 weeks to make a correction so I'm at a crossroads.
Thanks in advance.
