Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Bill,
No this is OEM as in original equipment as seen by the remnents of the sealer around the edges. The repop glass is made in "Taiwan" of all places.  I agree with you regarding the future of our reproduction parts. It is very sad and as I said before, I would not mind paying the price if I could just get a quality part.

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Nope! Confirmed 1970 Chevelle 2 door coupe back glass. They also confirmed it to be defective as well as the rest of their inventory. From what I found out, this was not a new issue and this glass should have been put somewhere where it could not be resold.

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Rick,
You probably already know it but make sure there is no eng paint and only bare metal where the lower radiator hose attaches. I didn't do that on one car, drove it to the pavillions, after five mins of sitting the lower hose blew off because of the slick paint. Made a big mess, burned my girlfriend, the only person out of the crowd standing around to get splashed. Very embarrasing with all the people standing around and I couldn't decide who to attend to the girlfriend or the car. Fortunately a bunch of car guys pitched in cleaning up the car and I attended the girl. Withing 2 secs a lawyer approached her to offer her his services in sueing me. Anyway I have a normal hose clamp on the bottom and a tower clamp on the topside now.
