Re: windshield glass

Bruce, from what I have seen, you will lose 10 points with a properly dated repo windshield.

Not true for the newly available windshields.

Re: windshield glass

If I may ask...who is making zero deduct windshields with correct tint and ASI color?

Re: windshield glass

Their is only one source who still holds the original licenses and manufacturing rights: Pilkington Classic. I heard they were revising their glass tint band.

Let's see if Jim agrees.

Re: windshield glass

Right you are Larry. I've been working with Pilkington Classic for 3 years to correct their windshield. After many meetings, e-mails and finally sending them my original glass, they sent me a prototype last spring for final approval. I met with our Chapter Judging chairman to compare the prototype to another original and we agreed that the new ones are now correct. This was also confirmed by the C-2 team leaders. No deduction if correctly dated.

Bruce, call Randy at 1-800-848-1351. I know several that have bought them and had them delivered to their home. I don't know who you talked as Pilkington is a world wide company. You need to talk to the Pilkington Classic division. Their customer service is second to none.

Re: windshield glass

Jim,
I know you've worked on this for a long time and your efforts are greatly appreciated. Just to clarify, I now have an EZ Eye w/s that is losing points. I'm going for the Duntov next so I need to replace it for max points. Will this windshield pass with zero deductions? It's a pain to change out on a coupe. I've been waiting for Pilkington to produce this w/s correctly. I even bought an NOS weather strip just in case it happened.
Any exterior judges want to comment?

Re: windshield glass

Jim, what is the cost of the new windshield? Thank you for efforts in this endeavor in this project, it was long overdue.

Re: windshield glass

I can't say what they charge as I never received a bill from them. However, a friend bought 2 correctly dated windshields and the total was slightly under $500 for both. That included $50 crating charge but no shipping as they were delivered to a local Pilkington distribution center and he picked them up there. I suggest asking if there's a distribution center near you when ordering. It can save a lot of $$$ in shipping costs.

Re: windshield glass

I paid $295 front, $195 rear. $50 ea for date code/soft ray logo, $50 crate fee. Picked it up in Commerance, CA. $640. total. I bought directly. from Pilkington.
