Glass

[stretcher66]

Is there any sources for reproduction glass for 510's out there?  I need a drivers side rear window for my 71 goon.

For the cargo area or one of the doors?

I and probably many others have used side glass in our garages.

Put an official request for what you want in the Ratsun classifieds or your local craigslist and you will be fine.

Note that there is both clear and tinted side glass (doors/windows/maybe even rear window) for the wagons and sedans so you will want to get a pane that matches.  Take a white piece of paper and hold it against the inside of the glass while looking from the outside.  It becomes pretty obvious if the glass is clear or tinted.

Factory CLEAR glass 1968-mid 1970/71

 

Factory TINTED glass mid-1970/71-1973

 

If the car has been mod'd over the years, you can't always assume it is the glass that came it it......I have seen earlier cars where somebody installed all the later tinted glass, but those were Sedans, not Wagons.

 

I've seen cars with a mix of clear & tinted, cuz it was all they could find when replacing!

well i got it with a piece of plexi glass (actually a good fit job) but would prefer some real glass. i found one on ebay for $95 with free shipping. but received a email from the sender today that he accidently broke the glass while boxing it up to send.....

Well stink!

 

Put a WTB add in the ratsun classifieds or on craigslist.  Someone has what you need.  You just need to ask.

If you don't have any luck finding one local, let me know and I can ship one down from WA.
