Can you get a windshield that isnt tinted on the top ?

I am wanting to see if anyone knows of a company that makes windshields for our trucks that arent tinted across the top ??

Re: Can you get a windshield that isnt tinted on the top ?

when I was researching my new windshield I saw this

http://www.restorationperformance.co...c-Truck/Detail

They say clear is available, I didn't use them though.

I went with Pilkerton and ordered it local. (with tint)

Might be worth a call.

Re: Can you get a windshield that isnt tinted on the top ?

When I got mine all the local glass installers said they couldnt get clear, only availabe with tint strip, got my clear one from Brothers and had a local installer come install it. No manufacturer name on mine, just says "laminated safety glass" with a DOT#.

Re: Can you get a windshield that isnt tinted on the top ?

I have one with blue tint on top. Local auto glass shop said it was either blue or green, clear was not an option. Still think that a clear window is the best. Looked all over to find a clear one but I ended up with the blue tint on top.
