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) |

some more trivia you don't have to read (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
SEKURIT. patented process for making toughened glass. process developed by Saint Gobain and licensed out to other glass works. in the case of 914s St. Gobain licensed SEKURIT process to Flachglas GMBH who branded the product as Delodur. Later on Saint Gobain morph the name SEKURIT into a brand that covers their automotive glass division. re SIGLA screens also made by Flachglass. S = sheet glass. thats the clear version. two layers of normal uncoloured sheet glass, virtually clear glass. SGG = sheet green green. ie two layers of green coloured sheet glass. thats the "tinted" version. the SGG is the one all the early 911 guys want because its the very greenish windscreen they covet. seems to indicate that Flachglas was making their screens from plate glass stock (aka sheet glass). whereas Kinonglas were making theirs from float glass stock (at least from 74 on). the more modern way to make a flat piece of glass. earlier kinonglas windscreens use the S abbreviation like sigla do. later (approx 74 on) ones use the F. i won't be digging into earlier than 74. only interested in 74 1.8s. anyone else wants to know what goes in earlier cars can do their own searching if they care about getting into windscreen fetishes. but i did discover the early 911 guys are getting vintage screens re made by pilkington who now own the SIGLA trademark (brand), Pilkington will make you a replacement reproduction screen. you got to put your money down, all of it prepaid, with no return or order cancellation, wait three months and you get one. don't ask how much, you don't want to know. but if you think vintage tyres are expensive. mere pennies.
