Postby mopar70 » 07 Sep 2010 16:17

I wounder what was the standard glass on a Challenger 1970.

Was it All Clear Glass or Only Tinted windshield or All Tinted Glass?

I also wounder if it was standard with a Tinted field highest up on the windshield?
and in that case what color on the Tinted field highest up on the windshield?

If you order a E-body front screen from any source it will come with the correct tint along the top.

Tinted glass all round was standard with AC I believe. Optional otherwise.

Do you know what color the tint along the top is?

I also belive that all AC car have Tinted glass but should it say that in the Fender tag G11 or it is a packages when you have AC in the car?

G11 All glass Tinted
G15 Windshield Tinted

Do you know if some cars have only windshield tinted?

Does all Challengers come with the Tint along the top?

1970 challenger glass codes at this link;

Note the G21 code. Tinted glass was not standard with AC but strongly recommended. By specifiying G21, they knew that you knew they felt it was a bad idea.

If I have clear glass on my challenger

How is it with the windshield should it be a Tinted felt on the top of it?
and in that case what is the color of the tinted felt?

on my 70 it was clear glass with no tint along the top (previously 6cyl belguim car) all other challengers ive seen with clear glass dont have the tint up the top, but there may be some ? ive since fitted tinted front and rear screens as they look so much better, if you got black interior you dont notice the none tinted side glass to much :thumbsup:

I am trying to remember what color the dark tint strip is. It's a blue/green I think isn't it?
