bigchowder Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Maybe a dumb question, but are there glass shops still making/stocking windshields and windows for 510's? I called a couple places and they told me they couldn't get them anymore. So if you wan tto put in new glass for your driver and passenger doors (2 door) and front and back, where do you go? Or are there other newer models of cars that are compatible? I searched around the site for a while but didn't find anything, so sorry if it's posted and I missed it. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Nah, glass shops never made them -- the curved glass is made in the big glass factories in Japan, China and Taiwan. Call Pilkington Classics Also call PPG Vintage They both have toll-free numbers Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 If you have flat side windows [or had them once], they are simple laminated safety glass. Glass shops should have panes of flat laminated safety glass that they can cut to shape, round off the edges and install. If you need the newer heat treated non laminated [it will burst into glass confetti] that came on late model vehicles you may have a hard task ahead of you [AKA SOL]. Laminated safety glass anyone?

The Dat-side Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have a '71 and just noticed the Nissan logo is backwards on one side window and not the other. So are they the same left ad right? Quote Link to comment
