GT4 Windshield Source: Huge Rock Chip

Superformance UK ,the trim can be reused if you take very , very much attention to take off it (is glued with uretane compound round the glass and the body)

 

Maranello Classic parts also have them, though more expensive than Superformance. I bought a new one from Superformance earlier this year, not just because it was cheaper, but because they had blue top tint ones while Maranello only had clear or green.

I agree about the trim. Although Maranello have replacements in stock my windscreen fitter said there was no way it would fit. Luckily he managed to salvage the original one, but it took a lot of work.

 

Ouch. That was a big rock!

 

Glad that rock hit the window and not your head!

 

Duct tape should cover that up.

 

Changing Ferrari glass is no fun! I've always been able to re-use the trim. Very tough to clean for re-use, but do-able.

 

Which upper windshield tint is correct for an early GT4: blue, green or clear?

 

No idea. Mine had blue before so that is what I wanted to replace. No idea if the previous one was original.

 

i think clear is original. I got points off at the Pasadena Concorso for having the blue tint.

 

The windshield glass can have a slight tint, as the side glass does, but the early cars did not have the shaded, or darker area at the top. Maybe the later GT4's had this? Not sure.

 

yes, I was referring to the strip of tint on the top, not the overall tint of the glass. the judges didnt like it. although I find it very helpful myself.

Hey Joe!

 

That is so sad. Says all about USA concours

 

Who knows? My 79 Euro GT4 had a blue band when I bought it. No indication from history that bit wasn't an original screen - but there again no proof that it wasn't.

No idea!


Last year I replaced it as I bought it, with a blue strip.Happy with that!

 

My 77 has the blue tint at the top of the windshield as well.

 

clear is correct.....

 

Hmm, mine (1975) has the blue tint on top. As far as I know, it's original.

 

DAMN!!!! Sorry to see that!

 

Can I expand this and ask what would be "correct" for a 308 QV for instance? Or for the rest of the 308's as well...?

 

Can someone please post original windshield glass markings please HELP

 

Is it possible that the Blue tint came with the A/C option?

 

Interesting. Can someone please post photo of original glass markings brand etc.

 

Only my side glasses are marked (St. Gobain). The windshield doesn't seem to be
