1969 DODGE CHARGER 500/DAYTONA BACK GLASS NEW ebay

[madgus2000]

I know many people are looking for a back glass for a Daytona/500,  here is a guy on ebay who makes them!
Hope this helps.
Has anyone ever heard of this guy, does it sound good??

I think that would be the person Stevearino is dealing with for the side windows on his SRT8 Daytona?

Looks like a F&F "Daytona" in the pic and yes I think this is probably the guy Steve has been dealing with.

[Stevearino]

Yeah. It is Lee at Alan Auto Glass. I wish this had been available before I started my project. I would much rather have the correct looking glass in the rear window even though it would have meant making the stainless trim out of a couple of sets of regular rear window trim. Mainly for practical reasons.  If the Vega glass blows out good luck finding a replacement.

HEE WE GO AGAIN , ALL OR REAR WINDOWS OR " BACKLITE " IF YOUR IN THE BUSINES WERE TEMPERED ............. THERSE ARE LAMINATED ........ NOT JUNK AND YES ARE ONLY OPTION AT THE TIME . MY PROBLEM IS THIS 99 % OF THE PEOPLE DONT  KNOW THE DIFFERENCE  AND WHEN THEY MAKE CLAIMS LIKE " RARE " IS A FUCKING JOKE . Laminated safety glass. Rare item unavailable for years.

[madgus2000]

Does anyone know what an OEM window is selling for these days?  This seems to be a good price.  Is there any others out there making real glass windows for these cars?

[daytonalo]

You can use this laminated backlite as its our only option today . I just again want to make everyone aware there is a difference .

Can you expand on this?    I also have been noticing this guy on ebay.   The window on my Charger 500 has some deep scratches, it is the original rear glass.   Would this fit as a replacement or just be more problems?

I look at it this way.  No one would argue that the guys on Graveyard Cars are not sticklers for absolute perfection in their restoration work. Down to the proper nuts and bolts. But they run into authenticity problems from time to time . I  remember Mark cutting the boots off of the original wiring harness and sheathing them over the top of the new connectors to at least give the appearance of the original. As OEM glass becomes more unobtainable and expensive this is not a bad option for replacement. You would have to do the math on whether replacing a beat up piece of glass with a piece of laminated would detract dramatically from the value of the car. But if that was the case and the rear glass was not broken you could save it to re install for resale.

I look at it this way, at LEAST someone is making repro glass for these cars, be it a laminated or tempered rear window, it still a chunk of glass...much better than a hunk of plexiglass anyday

I agree, that is why I posted this information.  I do not think anyone else has a real glass for $650 obo.  If someone on this forum know of  others, please list for us.   And yes, he also makes back glass for birds.

Charger 500 / Daytona rear glass is in the works from AMD. No timeframes given.

[CornDogsCharger]

I was just going to say the same thing that C500 mentioned.  AMD has the C500/Daytona glass and trim in the works, as well as the Superbird glass and trim.  From what I'm heard, the C500/Daytona trim is already finished and they are just finishing up on the glass.

So if you were to put a time frame on finishing up, how long would you think it will take.  And when finished, would it be tempered or the same as the glass on ebay?   Do you have any inside info, thanks.

[madgus2000]

Just like I expected, there are 100's of people saying they are going to make a rear Daytona glass, but wait......shhhhh.  I hear crickets!!   I give the guy on ebay credit, he had the guts to actually make the glass and put them for sale,  way to go buddy keep up the good work.  I will wait for the next 10-15-20 years and see who else will make a glass...
