60-63 Windshield
 

What is the difference between a factory tinted front windshield and a shaded one. My cracked and hopefully soon to be replaced front windshield on my 63 is just clear throughout. Ive been cruzin through some vendor sites and they show those as the two options but with no pics. Can someone help me out on the description and of course some pics would be highly appriciated.
Thanks in advance all!

Tinted would be evenly colored, but shaded would have the strip across the top. I'm guessing, by the way:lol:. That just seems to me what a 'shade' would be.

You are correct protrash64. A mild tint on all glass was available or clear or the top shade on the windshield. Here are the published glass options:

Glass, Soft Ray:
Windshield Only - R.P.O. A11
All windows - R.P.O. A11

Glass, Laminated:
Door windows only - R.P.O. A09

I thought this information was interesting, so enjoy.

Man i would call your local glass shops before id order from an online catalog, they are an arm and leg through them and ive been quoted around $200 and thats them coming out and installing in my driveway. Just some advice. :chevy:

Thats for the info guys. I actually have a line on a nice used one from a guy for $50 and he said it is the factory tinted style.

Man if you could snag a good, unfrosted one for that price it's a steal.

Thats what I thought a shadded one looks like, thanks.
I have not gotten to see it yet but the one that I might be able to get on friday is tinted the guy says. I hope it is in as good of condition as he says it is.
