PPG is not the right curve.
The most correct glass is from www.autocityclassic.com
Sounds like PPG is still trying to pass off those rear windows that bow the wrong way and won't even remotely come close to fitting. I bought two of those from two different local suppliers SIX YEARS AGO and returned them both. I can't believe they're still trying to sell those pieces of crap.

PPG had put me on a list last year to contact me when the correct shaped rear window becomes available.I received this email from them on 2/25/08 but never followed through on it yet, if you check it out let us know the outcome if its correct or not.
We have in DB3992 GTN if your still looking for one

This is the original email I received on 8/2/07 fom PPG reguarding the bad glass.
Dave,
Thanks for the note regarding the back glass for the Chevelle. We noticed this error shortly after the back glass had been reproduced about 10 years ago. I contacted the manufacturer to get it corrected and was told they couldn't produce it correctly. I am now working with another supplier on getting an original sent off to get reproduced with the correct bow. If you want I can list you on the "waiting for glass" list and contact you when they become available. My guess is 6-12 months.
