C3 windshield differences

[Greg L.]

I see that most if not all vendors group their C3 windshields into three catagories,(68-72),(73-77),(78-82). Does anyone know what the differences are?

Will say a 68 fit in an 82 and vise versa or is it more of how they are tinted?

The reason I ask is that if I get a local PPG windshield I want to make sure that it's right for the car and not that it just "fills the hole".

Re: C3 windshield differences

For 68-72 versus 73-77, the bottom edge of the glass has a slightly different geometry that deals with the body change from short hood, hidden wipers + wiper door -> open 'slot' extended length hood and no wiper door.
