Shat R Proof Front windshield with no DOT?

[rick 67]

 Ok this should be fun !!! Sent the pics to the glass GURU in our plant who passed them onto who he considers the most knowledgeable glass guy around with 49 yep 49 years experience at Rossford and other plants. He says the windshields were DEFINATLY  REPLACED.  Shat R Proof never supplied 1 CAMARO OEM windshield for GM.

Back in the day we pretty much supplied Oshawa car and truck plants in Ontario. Less than a 2 hour drive and Ste Therese in Quebec about 4 hours. Now we don't have much of that with Oshawa shutting down and Ste Therese gone. 7 car plants in Ontario all within 2 hours and we only have 2% of the business. Gee we even ship to Brazil ! Honda Allliston car and van plants are only 30 miles away and we have none of it. Apparently a Chinese company got the Civic contract and are building a glass plant in OHIO.

Chinese company has bought a former GM plant in Dayton Ohio. They have also bought a float plant. They will have the capacity to produce 3 million windshields a year with 800 workers !

X77-69Z28 Thanks for your efforts however being a much later piece if glass I do not know that it is relevant.

Here are a few more photos showing a detail of the cloth type seal with the last one showing a series of numbers written by hand on the drivers inside top along the edge normally covered with adhesive.

I have an original 1968 Camaro all numbers matching, been in my family since day it left the chevy dealer. I am restoring this for my mom, as it was her car, yes now mine. It has this stamping on the original windshield, its never been removed or replaced. Yes from Norwood plant as well. I have to check the other windows for any markings, but here as one pic[/img]

What's the build date on your 68?

[1968ss350]

Just looking at my VIN April 1968, if I'm reading it correct, 123378N421240 check Camaro, 6cyl, coupe,Norwood serial 421240.  I read on another page Norwood production numbers:
Apr-68   
start-407304
ends- 425530

I was actually referring to the trim tag on the firewall.  Sounds like it'll be an 04B or 04C

I will get a pic shortly, have my interior guy working on my car as we speak

Maybe get a better photo of your windshield glass marking as well, and take a look at the other glass?

Windshield front, rear, driver , passenger, small windows in rear no pics bc door handles are off, all my new door panels going on this week. One family car, mom says no glass ever replaced. Front windshield leaked, me and my upholstery guy removed it. It was barely even attached the seal deteriorated so much

[1968ss350]

Driver side, sorry posted pass side twice

[1968ss350]

Cant get to firewall for pics on build date, upholstery guy left new panels and trim on top and don't wanna take it all off

Date codes for LOF put the sides at Feb 68, rear at Mar 68. I need better pics of windshield .

I was catching up on some reading and stumbled onto this post about the Shat R Proof windshield. Years ago when I bought this Z I started paying attention to codes and the glass was the first. I learned that all the glass, LOF, is correct for my build except the windshield. I just thought since it wasn't LOF too, windshield wasn't OEM. Interestingly enough, my 69 06A final assembly date 6/6/69 Z28 has a Shat R Proof windshield. I'm the 6th owner and I have spoken to just about all P.O. except original owner in the 20 years I've had the car, and they all say the car has never been apart with a few paints over the original. Original vinyl top. All I do is drive it, maintain it, and correct whatever needs correcting. I took two pics today of the monogram. One looks like its double, but it's not.
