Best place for front and rear glass
 
Gonna need front and rear glass for a 70 Monte Carlo. What’s the best place to get them and date stamped? Monte forum guys have had some problems with Pilkington.

I bought mine at Auto City Classic in Minneapolis. I think it was Pinkerton, but Auto City did the etching. It came in a pallet box that would have protected it from a tank running over it! Looked great, and fit perfectly.

Pilkington should make it and will date code it LOF. I just installed one in my 70 Z/28 project with the antenna in the glass.

I bought a complete set of dated glass from Auto City Classic as well. Well packed and protected and all of it fits without any issue at all. I have dealt with them a couple of times and recommend them.

$400 for a complete set of Camaro coupe glass seems reasonable. $110 shipping. :)

I was lucky enough there is a Pilkington warehouse in Columbus Ohio and they will date etch it and you can pick it up. Huge warehouse. I think there is one in the midwest also.

I need to get some glass for my 70Z. Anybody in particular you talked to at Pilkington? Was yours tinted? I've heard of issues with the tint compared to OEM.

I just called. There's a little bit of a lead time with etching.

Thank you for including the costs. I always find that helpful....

Looks like ACC is a better deal. $400 for *all* the glass vs $385 for just the front and rear. And the shipping is much cheaper.

Randy is who I talked to. If I remember right, tinted windshield was cheaper than clear!
