hi guys, I worked for libby owens ford for 9 years in the early 70,s. LOF was considered top of the line at that time. LOF made gm replacement glass after I left for years. then in the late 90,s early 2000,s im not sure. Pilkington bought LOF that's why pilkinton glass is so good. they are made from LOF molds. but if they are made in china or wherever. all bets are off. I have a cinamex? in my 70 and its ok. it leaks at the top but I have trim also. I guess all you can do now is get whatever you can with a good gasket and go with it. BROWN 70
