You didn't have a mishap, or unfortunate incident, did you?

You could always carve out the factory plug and install a Vega plug with the glass and chrome    :D :lol: :rofl:

Rear glass has been available.  They are "close" but not exact.   The repops are a little flatter than the originals.   Something to do with the manufacturing process.  Original glasses have a little more bubble to them.   You can see it when you compare two cars side by side.

Iowa Glass had them some years back, but they have been bought out by someone else and are under a different name.   I'm not sure where to go right now.  But some are probably out there. 

Daytona R/T SE

I got mine from Iowa Glass, but as Doug mentioned, they have been bought out.

However, I believe this place is the actual manufacturer:

Well Jimbo, it will only fit on a '69 Charger 500 or Daytona,, not a couple of moons..........   :icon_smile_big:

Not to derail the thread here but how about Superbird Glass? I still am fortunate enough to have my original rear glass but I also have some scratches that are beyond repair. Any options for us Plymouth guys?

Yup, I believe OEM glass makes the 'Bird glass, too...

At least they did several years ago...

PS Auto Glass in WI could get their hands on it as of a couple months back.  I think OEM is the source, too.
