Re: What's the latest w windshields: Pilkington or Crinamex?

I spoke w Curt at Pilkington Classics Auto Glass (https://www.pilkington.com/en/us/aut...ngton-classics) and he shows 20 Pilkington windshields currently in stock and available. He says these are also made in Mexico but at a different facility and are embossed w "Pilkington" and not w Vitro Crinamex.

@CheyenneSuper72: My glass has been installed by the same auto glass guy who is knowledgeable with 67-72 windshields and using OEM trim has never been an issue. Is it possible the trim is either bent, doesn't match the gasket groove (67-70 gasket w 71-72 trim), or could the trim be used reproduction pieces?

@ Dave: Andy from MCR is en route to collect my 72s. I toured the facilities - very nice.
