Yves,
I share your feelings about the COA. At best they are close to correct. At worst, they are absurd. Porsche should be embarrassed! Good luck, my friend! Pat |

I've never heard of the rear window being tinted. All around basically means the windshield, and all door glass.

I have a set of the "Spain" option tinted glass that i posted pics of before. The car it was on did NOT have a tinted windshield and was a low mileage original car. My confusion is whather there were two types of tint, did this car have an early in life windshield replacement or maybe just didn't get a tinted windshield from the factory ?

The rear window was only produced in clear, at least for US markets. A rear window defroster was optional equipment.
The standard windshield was clear - Laminated for USA, non-laminated for Europe. 2 optional equipment tinted windshields wer available - optional equipment M089 was non-laminated, and M567 was laminated. |

But if the car I had, had tinted side windows shouldn't it have also had a tinted windshield or was the winshield an additional option on top of the side glass? |

Clear side windows were standard. Tinted side windows were optional equipment M568. So its possible to have tinted side windows and a clear windshield.
There is a list of optional equipment items on my webpage here: http://members.rennlist.com/914_collectibles/OpEq.htm The list may not be totally complete, but I think its pretty much complete. The data was taken off factory price lists, but I have not had access to every price list throughout production. |

One of these days I'll stop long enough to take the time to go through your site (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It will no doubt be a learning experience ! |
