    Does anyone know or remember if '68 Coupes with vinyl tops had a metal retainer strip in the rain gutter (secured with pop rivets?) to secure the vinyl? I've seen ONE, but it wasn't a San Jose car. Neil

    1968 Windshield woes

    I'm not happy with the windshield on my green CS: miniscule pock marks that look like prior damage (sand, stones, etc.) that don't polish out. NPD advertises two Carlite windshields, one with a blue tint along the top , and one 'tinted'. The difference is several hundred $$$. Its been 25/30...
