    See my post above

    Superformance are still looking for a new supplier for the side window drop glass and have their contact in Italy trying to track one down. It certainly isn't imminent though. I bought a pair of side windows from DinoParts but the quality isn't great so I'm polishing up my original windows as best I can and refitting them for the time being.

    I'm not aware of any other suppliers and emails I've sent on the subject to a couple of US based parts specialists and to Sicurvetro in Finland have gone unanswered.

    Could you share what you didn't like about the DinoParts glass?

    The glass I received from Jorg at DinoParts had quite a few swirls and scratches and also had strange cloudy areas in it for want of a better description that weren't too noticeable on dull days but were on sunnier ones. No amount of normal glass cleaning could remove them and it made them look like the interior had misted up then dried out leaving the residue marks you can get when that happens. I may just have been unlucky with the batch I received.

    I had bad experiences with DinoParts and glass too.
    Especially the windscreen. If you look through the screen your view becomes blurred.
    Adrian was co-driver in one of my Dino with a DinoParts windscreen recently and got almost sick...
    maybe he can upload a picture he took

    I have a DinoParts screen as well and it suffers mild distortion but nothing as bad as those pics. I'm having it changed next week hopefully.

    PS. Is Dino Parts making good on the defective glass?

    with my GTS we had to change the front glass three times and I had take the labor costs..
    with this GT the previous owner bought the windscreen, difficult to address...
    I can recommend some parts from DinoParts, but glass no way I would buy from them...

    Does any one have a good glass polish that they can personally recommend?
    Thankyou

    What is the difference compared to the M- and E-series vent window glass? Is it just the logo, or are there other differences as well?

    The frame of the M- and E-series Dino are black and slightly different in size too.
    The frame is slightly wider and has a slighly different angle in the corner.
    Also the rotation shaft is slighly different.
    The glass might have a fraction different dimentions... ?!
    The script even changed during M- and E-series.

    Did you and your dealer get rights to manufacture windshields with the Sicursiv brand? I need a new windshield for 74 Dino 246 GTS.
