Re: repop dated glass
OEM is the name of a restoration glass supplier here in Illinois. You can Google them. I'm sure the tinted dated glass I bought for my Chevelle was Pilkington which is as good as it gets for replacement glass. If you buy new replacement tinted glass you will see spots. I found it very helpful to view my car WITHOUT sun glasses.

Re: repop dated glass
I've used Auto City Classics dated glass on 2 cars, and haven't has any problems. I believe that they are less expensive than the others. They do not use Pilkington. Also, you can order the glass and pick up at Carlisle to save shipping. (763) 444-5880

Re: repop dated glass
I have been hearing that the windshield thickness of the repop glass is not the same as original, that it is thinner and thus does not sit at the same height as stock glass. This in turn apparently causes the stainless trim to angle down to sit against the windshield and looks noticeably wrong. Has anybody encountered this?
What is the recommendation for sealing the windshield? Is the butyl tape available? I heard the suggestion that the tape was available in thicker than stock size to help place the windshield at the correct (stock) height. I'd like to get this done right the first time so appreciate any thoughts on the subject. -Jon
