[DeTomaso] What's the latest on factory replacement windshields?

[Tom Shinrock]

 Just curious, how much does the windshield cost?

I was led to believe that one could not make an exact copy of a windshield without violating a patent and the only way to get around that was to change the dimensions slightly (hence the slightly undersized aftermarket WS that was prone to leaking).   Don't know if that is true or not.

I recall somebody on this forum tooled up to have proper glass 
reproduced down in the So-Cal area, but don't remember the details.

Mike,

Check with Bruce Nebergall at SoCal Autoglass Connection (Escondido, CA).  760

The original windshield from my '71 was used to make the mold.  The new glass is 
available
in the original green tint, and with a tint band at the top.
