Title: Wanted: Clear Rear Window Liftgate Glass for '57/'58 Station Wagon
Post by: suede57ford on 2022-08-15 12:08
I need a nice real glass for the liftgate on my '57 RanchWagon.

My original glass was in good shape but got some welder/grinding pits in it.

I need a "CLEAR" glass to match the rest of the glass in my car.

I have some extra factory green tint rear wagon glass if some one wants to upgrade to tinted glass and some cash as well, but I need clear and good condition.

Thank you for the help,

I've contacted them and they listed dark tinted but said could make me on in clear.    Pretty expensive but if it's perfect and new worth it.  The shipping alone is $385.   I'm going to try to make some money so I can get one.

The reason I need a perfect one is I'm getting the windows tinted with a very special window tint called Crystalline that does not look tinted but blocks out nearly 99% of the UV and Radiant Heat.   Its' a very special material that looks like traditional tint when the roll, but installed you almost can't tell it has any tint. This will keep my older cars looking original but block the Radiant heat and UV so that the vintage air unit will be more efficient and keep the hot sun off my kids in the back seat.    This is more effort than regular tint to get done but it blocks more heat than nearly anything else you can buy and most will not know its even there unless I tell you. Since I work for 3M I was able to find out about this Crystalline technology. The original green tint does not block much heat in comparison to this new technology.

Now that is interesting and THANX! for sharing that ...
