Has anyone used Auto city glass?
thinking about buying new glass for my 70 GTO from Auto city with proper date coding, I need clear glass. Has anyone had issues with this reproduced glass? I see some has the spots in it when looking at the right angle and light. Any other recommendations? thanks

I was going to go with Auto City, but they can only date code LOF glass, not PPG. Since I couldn't get the right glass for my car, I just went with a local guy. The price overall was very competitive from Auto City, but the shipping is not cheap. I would have absolutely pulled the trigger if they could have done PPG.

I have one of their windshields in my Bonneville and have been happy with it, I haven't heard from anyone about problems with fitment or sealing. I didn't opt for date coding so I can't comment on that, it's probably best to call them to discuss. They're local to me so of course there was no shipping issues.

Last year I tried to use a 70 rear window from Auto City and it was manufactured nearly 3/8" wider than the original that I removed, plus the curvature was way off on one side. It was hitting the molding clips on both sides when dropped in. No way it would fit in the car I was building, so I bought one locally. They get boat loads of glass from Asia, not U.S. made. Lucky for all of the other 70 customers, as I was "the only one" with that problem. Evidently I had the glass long enough that it started growing. They also sold me vent glass for a 55 Chevy that was too short, again, my problem.
Numerous prior glass purchases from them were uneventful, but these last two experiences make them my last resort. YMMV. |

I'm another that does not like what I see with the rainbow type spots refracting from sunlight in the reproduction tinted back windiw glass. Been seeing that for over a decade & it looks BAD. Not sure if that's just a repro tinted back glass deal, or similar deal with clear back glass as well.

There is a thread at TAC regarding ACG.obviously tailored to firebirds but no complaints from my recollection
