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) |

re tough v tempered. down here we refer to it as toughened glass. same thing. heat treated for strength. you are right about the side glazing. if it has got the F. might have to look further into that. the jag website i linked to above lists all the letters used. states F is for float glass. that info might be wrong. the glass in my car is Delodur1 in the side windows and rear window so i had not picked up on that F being there. further investigation required. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) the windscreen from the car on BAT is a USA rated windscreen. nothing mysterious there. its got the AS1 rating marked on it. its also laminated as it should be. see at the top. of the marking the plate glass descriptor is interesting. there will be an explanation for that. could be as simple as the germans changed the term but where referring to the same thing. ie sheet glass/plate glass/float glass. you can get yourself into tricky territory with the old plate glass versus float glass discussion. anyway its a lam screen. its very similar to the 73 screen i posted on first page of this thread. similar but not exactly the same. need more info/data. the PET i referred to showed a distinct windscreen for both the 914/6 and the 914 2.0 together rather than just the 6. still - as you say, what was that about. yet it has the same part number as the one for standard 4s. dunno. more data needed. re M numbers. they would be different for each manufacturer. but they might be describing the same thing. ie same construction. anyways, i'm only going to poke my head into kinonglas. as far as i can tell that is the one that the factory was installing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i am not sure about the tempered over tempered for a windscreen in the USA. or as we would say, toughened over toughened. i know a lot about glass in architectural applications. normally we cannot get laminated toughened. its laminated float. we can only get toughened as single sheet. now that may be a limitation of architectural glass and codes as they relate to regulation rather than a manufacturing limitation. further research required. however, that screen you have posted from BAT is USA so its a moot point. AS1 on the DOT and M line means its a USA approved screen or USA standard screen. herz means heart. a couple of ways you could see that wavy line. a sine wave. hertz. a heartbeat herz. who knows exactly why the germans chose that symbol. they just did. the French as i found out use the word AGREE instead of a symbol. which means APPROVED. some more work to do. the F thing is interesting. you may be right. have to investigate further. i'll look into DELODUR and see what that is about. i guess its a bit like the ECA/B research. you have to acquire enough examples to get to the bottom of it.
