914 Windshield inside OEM Glass Sticker logo?, Anyone making these OEM Windshield Mfg. Stickers Options

[TJB/914]

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)

I think this thread is hilarious. I like to read the BAT auctions for 356's. Those guys are anal but entertaining. You guys are having fun with glass and interesting and entertaining. One can always learn something new about Porsches from threads like this.

yeah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
we are just having fun.
i go nowhere near concourses and all that.
in fact i got a pm from @TJB/914 this morning, the guy who started this thread, delighted with our meanderings. he started all this with a perfectly reasonable question,
he wanted to reproduce a sticker for his windscreen and restoration. and of course, there is no right answer. but he is enjoying the info. if it helps him make a repro sticker well its a good thing. isn't it. we are just all out to have fun preserving and restoring cars - or as the case may be totally modifying them into monsters. all good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

and sh#t i've just learned heaps from @vitamin914 about glass and windscreens i can take into everyday up to the minute purchases of screens for my other cars which are still newish and contemporary. fricken pricelss.

but @JeffBowlsby in his meticulous and careful way asked a few pages back the right question, linking DOT 31 to a manufacturer. can it be done.
well i've looked and looked and i can't reach far enough back in time to do that.
its just not there in the digital files of the Dept. of Transport USA.
but i can find a current list.
and i just cracked something with it that Jeff wants to know.

so DOT 31 is unfindable.

but DOT 25 still exists.

and i notice its on all the SIGLA screens.
but i wasn't looking hard enough at the side windows. pardon my lack of observation Jeff.
they are also DOT 25.

that means same manufacturer.
DOT 25 is flachglas Automotive GMBH germany.
still exists.
company website shows history.
they made the SIGLA windscreens. company history says so along with DOT number.
but obviously they also made the DELODUR side windows.
so the writing on those makes sense now.
DELODUR is made by flachglass (makers of SIGLA brand windscreens) and the DELODUR is a process or toughening technique patented by SEKURIT. in this case licensed from SEKURIT. so the LIZ. SEKURIT is clear in its meaning now.

so you have sigla windscreen and DELODUR side glass you have a car where all the glass came from Flachglass. SIGLA screens fitted to 914s makes perfect sense.

you have a Kristall screen made by Kinonglas - is a combination of glass from two companies. the windscreen from Kinonglas, side glass from flachglas.
at some point Kinonglas was sold to ST. GOBAIN/SEKURIT and disappeared from existence.
after 914 production finished. DOT 31 disappeared with it from the records.
probably if you looked around in a physical archive in DOT you might find an ancient list.
but who cares.

here is the current DOT list you can dig up.




and here is a bonus for @JeffBowlsby .
came up randomly in one of my searches.
stuff that comes up i have no idea how it appears or how to back track it into some bigger DOT archived.
but its actually correspondence between SEKURIT and the DOT with an inquiry about just what they have to print on the windscreens and it dates from 1973.
more precisely the company is SEKURIT GLAS UNION GMBH.
its very clear too its referring to Kinonglas Kristall.
so in some way Kinonglas is hooked up to SEKURIT at that point in some kind of association or sub company.
