If there is anyone here in the US who is interested in purchasing a windshield for their 40 please contact me. I have searched out a manufacturer who is willing to produce glass for me in quantity and anyone who is interested in a replacement or spare at a very attractive price can let me know and I will include their needs in my order. My email is [email protected]
windshields for sale
- Thread starter dan
- Start date
Thought I'd let everybody know that the windshields I promised months ago have finally arrived. I plan to have them in my possession by the 24th of October. The price is $250 plus shipping. There are two different types which vary primarily in curvature. I will be glad to help you determine which you need. I will have both in stock.

GLASS SPECIFICATIONS from http://www.fordfestiva.com/service/servglas.htm
Federal Government establishes requirements for many products that the public uses on a daily basis in order to make sure prudent steps are taken to ensure the safety of the public. The automotive industry is no exception and there are numerous requirements and standards that must be met before a vehicle can ever reach the road. The glass that is in your car has a series of test requirements and each piece of glass must be trademarked to show it meets these regulations.
A couple of the key characters to look for in the trademark are the "DOT" and "AS" numbers. The DOT number identifies the manufacturer of the glass, and every company that produces glass for sale within the U.S. must have a number registered with the Department of Transportation., the PPG number is DOT 18. Another important item is the "AS" number which indicates what series of tests that part has been qualified to. The "AS" is the abbreviation for American National Standard that is required in section 6 of the ANSI Z26.1-1997 specification.
To provide a general summary, the windshield of your car will carry an AS1 designation while the other pieces of glass will be AS2. In sunroofs, SUVs and vans the AS3 designation would apply to the deep tint glass that is often used in these vehicles. While not a substitute for the complete text of the applicable legal requirements, the following sections will give you some details as to the requirements for the most common "AS" numbers used.

Everyone, I just wanted to post an endorsement of Dan's windshields; with respect to the KVA style glass he has anyway. I am in the process of fitting one of these windscreens into my my car and must say that I as pleasantly surprised with how well it fit "out-of-the-box." I doubt that any windshield will go in any car without fitting, but the corners (a product of the curvature) are reportedly the critcal fit points. I can say that my glass is snug down on the flange in all four corners. I actually bought two windshields to have a spare and both pieces fit identically which speaks to quality control. The glass has a light green tinting, which I understand is traditional for GT40 windscreens. When the glass is in the car, the tint is almost inperceptable. I am very happy with my purchase and the price is absolutely unbeatable.
Faili, I can tell you that the E11 is the country code for the automotive standarts body. (For more information with regards to the automotive lighting, see Daniel Stern Lighting which is the source for this information.) The number signifies the country in which approval was granted. Under ECE regulations, items of motor vehicle safety equipment must be tested and approved in a lab BEFORE they can be sold or installed on a motor vehicle, not just "certified" by the car maker and maybe (but not likely) tested for actual compliance after they're already on the market (as in the US system).
The lowercase 'e' in a square signifies EEC (European Economic Community) approval; the uppercase 'E' in a circle signifies ECE (Economic Comission for Europe) approval. The number just indicates where the approval was granted, not necessarily where it was designed or manufactured. Under ECE regulations, an item of motor vehicle equipment approved in one ECE member country is acceptable for use in any other country that adheres to ECE safety regulations. Here is a breakout chart of the numbers:
1 Germany
2 France
3 Italy
4 Netherlands
5 Sweden
6 Belgium
7 Hungary
