Can someone tell me the stock OEM thickness of the front windshield and rear for '69 coupe?

I did a search and came up with -2- answers. I am ready to roll on the purchase. I have a vendor that states original thickness, but would like to conquer with them before shelling out the dough.


Thanks..............

I highly doubt the W/S will be OE thickness. Aftermarket and W/S glasses since 1974 or 75 are thinner. Backglass is a maybe correct thickness. You should be questioning the quality. IMHO the only difference you can see is the logo and Date Code. LOF, PPG and Guardian logos look the part, but XYG Chinese glass logo just doesn't cut the look. I gotta ask: Butyl tape or urethane installation??
