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.

A couple of things I am curious about:
On the side windows, Delodur-1 is clear, Delodur-F is tinted. Most of the windshield bugs have that "F" designation and tinted windshields were made for the 914. Tinted 914 windshields are so lightly tinted the tint is almost imperceptible, maybe they found yours was acceptable, even though it was techncially tinted? Does herz=hertz? I found a german spelling of it as 'herz' (named after Heinrich Hertz, German physicist), but have only known that term to be hertz. If so I suppose either is correct. That hertz symbol was linked to the ABG number in that explanatory 'key' image that we both found so it is part of the desgination of that "D"-number. The PET page posted indicates 4 windshields. One windshield was made for the /6..why was that necessary? One was for heat protection, could that be the HI designation? One of the images indicates "Plate". Would that be the non-laminated glass (Non-US markets only)? Also, have not heard of 'toughened' glass before. Laminated, tempered, annealed, float (plate). Am I correct in understanding that 'toughend' must be tempered and the term is used in some parts of the world? A windshield (at least here in the USA, and Canada) should be tempered over tempered and laminated with the plastic interlayer. On the M numbers I thought they were model numbers for each specific part as determined by each manufcturer. So not just 4 M numbers total, but one or more for each manufacturer that makes a 914 windshield or its variants. Then there is this one from a 1972 currently on BaT (closes this morning). It appears to be originally a german market car from one of the stickers. It says Laminated Plate which I think is correct for the german market at the time. How it came to the US with that windshield is questionable. Attached image(s) ![]() ![]() |
