[FWDLK] More on Windshields

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info on the 451 windshield. Now, are you sure it's NOS,
that is, manufactured by PPG and containing the PPG bug?  There are a
lot of windshields out there that are manufactured in Peru or South
America.  They are no good.  The original windshields were .25 inches
thick.  The South American windshields are as little as .11 inches
thick.  Also, there's a guy in California that advertises in the
Chrysler 300 club bulletin that has successfully remanufactured the
451/453 windshields.  My extra-critical friend has one and he's
satisfied with it.  The only problem is that its $850, including
shipping !
