Default 67 Vette windshield

does anybody know the best place to buy a replacement windshield?
most of the LOF ones say Made in Mexico?
I don't need a date coded one, just one not made in Mexico
Thanks, Ron

It is my understanding that all the replacement 1963-67 windshields come from the same plant in Mexico

That's what I'm finding out and also some come from Tialand!
I wonder how NCRS handles this situation? I really don't want that on my windshield, still researching. Thanks for responding, Ron

Do a search on Pilkington. Believe they are USA made.

I'll call them on Monday, some of the ones I've seen with the tint at the top really looks "too tinted" like a harsh line. Didn't know just getting a windshield would be so much trouble. thanks, Ron

NOBODY makes a tinted windshield that will pass judging without a "configuration" deduction for the contour of the shade band; that's just the way it is.

Good to know, I'll order mine non shaded if I ever find one not made in Mexico.
