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.

Wait... Original windshield, yet flat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Also, you have Delodur 1 -F or Delodur-F? From @Wonkipop thread link, it looks like there might have been rare instances of Delodur-1F...
