glass etching gone bad?

[Tigger]

Got a question, buddy of mine has a 69 roadrunner that needs a rear glass, he's taking picuters of all the other glass to send to ECS for date coding i guess, and noticed some of the windows have the ecthing backwards(if your looking into the car). He even has a piece that has the ectching on the outside of the glass. I checked my 69 charger and all except 1 vent glass is backwards? Is this normal, whats going on?

[JimShine]

I know that every Charger back window I have seen is backwards.

[BROCK]

It's normal.  I can't imagine why though

[jeryst]

Probably had something to do with the positioning of the glass on the assembly line.

The etching on the rear windows of all the Daytona's and 500's aren't backwards.

[Tigger]

So i take it chrysler had multiple venders at the same time for glass? So would it be safe to say that any car that has the etching all the same is wrong? In other words all cars should have at least 1 piece of glass with the etching backwards?

[69_500]

Are you talking about all the windows, or just the side glass?

[JimShine]

On standard 2nd generation Chargers, the only piece of glass I am aware of that is etched backwards is the back window. Not the quarter glass, I mean the very rear window.

I'm talkin about all the glass, front, side, back. My car has backwards etching on the side glass as well as a friends 2 69 road runners.

This is common & there is no standard "this & that are backward"  The datecode would be the only concern - if you're into that
sort of thing.  I am on 1 of my cars; but the rest don't matter to me.
