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. |

Well, the two numbers seems to be available, both 101 and 102.
Here are the screenshots of both numbers from the same Porsche dealer, yet the price is different. I doubt these are the same part with different price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Surely, there must be a difference. From the Porsche parts document, the 101 is clear and the 102 is tinted. But you clearly know more than I do! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) If you think the cheaper one from Porsche will be a good matching shade with my side Delodur-F, I definitely prefer the lower priced one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) BTW, that price was $508 and went up to $570 January 1st. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
