Ive had good results with two complete sets(67 & 69 camaro) purchased at Autocityclassic.

I believe they were manufactured by Pilkington(67 the boxes had Pilkington all over them). Anyway both fit good, it takes a bit of adjusting to get it right.
Nothing you buy is going to be as perfect in shape as they used in 69.

A new set of Metro seals all around is helpful.

Rich,
The cost for buying Pilkington Glass is almost twice as much as Autocity classic. Autocity Classic might have the boxes, but it doesn't mean that it was manufactured from Pilkington Glass. I know that Autocity back glass is made in China, but I am not sure on the side glass. There is no quality control in China. A few friends bought AutoCity Glass the back glass for 69 Z28 Camaro and 72 Chevelle. The glass cracked within 6 months after installing. My friend bought some PPG glass from a closing warehouse and didn't have any issues.

I have a complete set of Pilkington Glass for my 67 Camaro, because I bought it from the Pilkington Warehouse which is located in Urbancrest, Ohio. Just outside Columbus, Ohio. Here is the link

Pilkington only has clear or green tint. If you want smoke tint, then you might look at Muscle Rodz, their supplier is in Ontario Canada.

Contact MuscleRodz.com, he has never stated on who is the manufacturer. He only stated on the location, but on his website it does say that the glass can be dropped shipped from the manufacturer.

I will have pics this weekend. Picking up a customer car we have to do final assembly on and has our glass installed. I saw it a couple about a month ago and fitment and curvature looked good. It is not Auto City glass btw.
