Re: 1972 Medium Blue Highlander Blazer Resto
Thanks a lot guys! Brian, will do!
So the local Pilkington supplier had non-Pilkington embossed Windshield glass from some plant in Mexico but with Pilkington stickers on it. Hmmmmm. Pass. My glass guy called Pilkington in Ohio and has a Pilkington embossed windshield en route but that won't arrive until next week. I'm wondering if Pilkington is shifting manufacturing to Mexico for these.
The double wall OEM tinted rear quarter top glass did not easily work with the single wall Steele repro gasket, which conforms great on the inside of the top but less so on the glass outside. We are going to give the rubber time to relax until the windshield install and see if there's improvement. The double wall glass is thicker but otherwise same dimensions and shape so we were hoping these would easily work. I'll get some representative pics posted soon.
The glass went easily into the hatch at least
