Re: [Chrysler300] South American windshields

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  This breaking news just in -

Michael Burke also has some Finnish ones (W451) available, and they are 
the correct .250 thickness.  It is my understanding that all other 
windshields being made today - South American and USA - are, indeed, 
somewhat thinner than this.  Supposedly a little extra sealant in the 
gasket groove takes up the gap and it's said to not be a problem.
