Not Ranked
opening or re-opening a can of worms
ok, so plenty of us have had to get a new windshield......
an ever perplexing question i have had, and I'm sure others have had too is....
where do all of the windshields come from, who ultimately makes them.
are these made for just the cobra market?....in all honesty i don't think so.
i have a manual for my kellison, it shows a part number for the glass.
however it is by Royal Daulton....who is out of the automotive glass business and no cross reference to this number i have ever found in 7 or 8 years.
now i know there is one glass pattern that everyone sells and uses on all of the makes....
but does anyone wonder if this glass, we all cringe at the price of, is actually the same pattern for some other british vehicle, that is actually half the price of what we pay retail for?
i have some ideas, but, without a actual NAGS number for what we call replacement cobra glass, the only way is to hold two examples of the suspects up to one another and see for sure.
any thoughts?
