I contacted them. They no longer have a classis car glass division.

I think they do, but are made in Europe. Look them up in France I
Or GB.

Not sure about correct code but check out this place

https://www.autocityclassic.com/1970...hardtop-22387/

A guy (maybe two) over at TAC discussed the correct curvature of the door glass which apparently can be incorrect depending on where you source your glass from but this place apparently has the correct curvature

I recently picked up all the glass for my son's '79 TA at the Pilkington warehouse in Phoenix. Actually it was a couple months ago. Anyways, I was told they restructured the classic car business a couple/few years ago (technically a different company I think) and can no longer buy direct. So you have to buy it from a dealer and either have it shipped or pick it up at a Pilkington warehouse/will call location. I didn't bother with the date coding, so not sure that's still an option, but the dealer I bought it from asked me if I wanted it.

Default Glass

Do any of these companies actual make same window as what as originally ordered with correct dot codes? My windshield is broken and soft Ray. I'd be interested too in a recommendation for correct dot rating and tint not just a date stamp
