Let's talk windscreen/windshield Options

[Montreal914]

I am currently looking into getting a windscreen (as the UK or parts catalogs calls it) but I am only interested in one that would have the original shape (rounded top).

I saw a few restored 914-6 on display at Rennsport VII with the OE windscreen shape and they were Pilkington, not Sigla. I wasn't able to confirm if Pilkington is the new supplier of Porsche 914 windscreen replacement part, but I have a strong feeling it is.

These OEM windscreens are available in clear or tinted per these two part numbers.

Clear: 914-541-101-10
Tinted: 914-541-102-10

By tinted, I am not sure if they mean with a dark shaded band at the top or overall tint like the side glass (Delodur-1 and Delodur-F, -1 clear and -F tinted).

If someone has this information, please comment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

My car has the Delodur-F (tinted) side windows and I would like to get the correct windscreen for it. That being said, I am not interested in having any dark shaded green band at the top, I would prefer clear, hence the question above.



For those who aren't familiar with what I am referring to as the shape, I found these two pictures trying to show it. The orange car (Porsche's 914-8) obviously has the genuine windscreen while the red car has a generic replacement. You can see how the top part of the windscreen is "bubbled up" creating a nice flowing live vs a sharp transition.

Good catch!
I hadn't noticed that!

Made me go look at the 75 I have.
Mine's flat!
I believe mine's original.
VW logo but the other windows have both VW and AUDI on them.
Front window "Laminated -F" and beneath that "Kinonglas-Kristall-FIRA-F-HI"
Side windows have Delodur 1-F
Rear has Delodur-1

Maybe my front has been changed?
It's definitely dealer installed if it has been replaced.
My car has been in a garage since 88 and only shows 31K which I believe is accurate.

close.
but not quite.
its all in the thread i linked to.
both sigla and kinonglas did clear and tinted. the sigla had a lovely greenish look in tinted form. less so the kinonglas tinted. diifferent process for the kinon screens.
later cars from 75 had VW and Audi logo. before that just VW logo. only the sigla windscreens ever had the porsche P in a triangle logo. it did not seem to matter if it was a 914/6 or 4 as to whether it got the P logo sigla screen.

re that curvature. its towards the edges of the screen at the top that its apparent.
but less so at the centre top.
