Looking for help if anyone makes these OEM Windshield Sticker's?
Are they different for every model year? Many years ago while restoring my 914 I used a solvent to clean up the windshield glass & destroyed the letters. I would like one for my OEM original windshield (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) This is off as recent 1976 in a local shop for repairs in this photo. Tom Michigan Attached thumbnail(s) |

wow @vitamin914
interesting info download. thanks for that. i'm not sure i should have flown off and dug up all that stuff on what a factory windscreen really was but it was so hot yesterday here there wasn't much else to do except put the feet up, crack a beer and stay inside. good for research. at least mr. b ( @JeffBowlsby ) can enjoy the fruits - some more data for his classic website and closer to the "truth". whatever that is when it comes to 914s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) good to have it explained what the M code is - relating to a table (list). can understand that now. must have been how the rego authorities here 30 years ago satisfied themselves i had a legit screen for australia. probably looked up the M code. gave them what they were looking for. light transmission percentages? looks like the squiggle and the D-code is something that will remain a mystery but i guess everyone now knows its not any kind of manufacturer symbol. probably a german code thing? maybe they had a table (list) to go with that. whatever it is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) on a side note @JeffBowlsby . i stumbled across a mention of kinonglas as being the supplier of the glazing in the famous FagusWerks building by Walter Gropius. mr. kinon patented a particular kind of security glass with an early type of vinyl interlayer. interesting innovator. i couldn't find out much about sudglas which was the other manufacturer of what appeared to be a very similar windscreen fitted to some mercedes benzs but i think the scenario in the early 70s was that kinonglass as a factory and sudglas as a factory formed an association with sekurit and it was known as the sekurit-glas union gmbh. gradually this then morphed into being known simply as sekurit. these days sekurit survives as a name by being the automotive glass division of st. gobain. the renault i have has a windscreen branded with three names on it. RENAULT ---------- SEKURIT _______ St. Gobain i believe that these days the remnants of kinonglas survives as Sekurit gmbh germany. |
