Any USA made flat plate laminated saftey glass ?

A couple of cars, one of mine and two of my friends needs new windshield gl***. All 1940's MOPARS which all had original PPG gl*** in them.

Our local PPG (Pittsburgh Plate Gl***) dealer went bust and I wanted to find another.

So I called PPG HQ which told me they sold the gl*** division. It is now PGW (Pittsburgh Gl*** Works & owned by a investment fund).

So, I called PGW to find another local distributor. In the process I asked which factory in the US was making their flat laminate safety gl***.

Turns out they stopped making it. If they need some for their distribution chain they get it from others overseas.

But, they only order it if someone puts in a very big order and currently they don't have any in the pipeline.


So, my question is:

Does anyone know if there is anyone making flat plate laminate safety gl*** in the USA ?

Best, James

 

contact Jefferis hot rod gl***, www.onepiececurved.com not sure where they get their gl*** 805-543-4757 Good luck

 

rainhater1-Thanks for link. this is a service a lot of people are always looking for.

 

Jst start dialing your local gl*** suppliers until you find someone who hasn't run out of it yet. When there is a merger they don't normally call all fo their product off the shelves.

 

Cl***ic Flat Gl***

I've never used them but it says "US Made" on the webpage.

 

Thanks for the leads. I sent both of them an email asking if the gl*** they use is manufactured in the USA. I will post any replies.

It is getting hard to buy the things I need to restore a car that are made in the USA. I don't mind spending more...but the hours it takes to run down a parts origin is just getting to be too much!

Thanks all, James

 

Uhh, that would be too obvious Benno!
