Not sure, for all my glass I use active auto glass on north jerusalem East meadow. Unfortunately I have had bad luck with glass and they know me by face. They always hook me up and go the extra mile. Broke my window accidentally last week on my Honda. While pumping gas the wind blew my door shut and my alarm activated itself. Needless to say my glass wound up shattered while trying to get in in a hury. Not only did they take me in the day after Christmas, but they cleaned and aligned my window tracks, as well as fixing/adjusting my weather stripping so the new widow sit tight all for no extra charge. Call them up and ask, im sure they will be able to get something done for you.

Cheapest isn't always the best, though they did quote me $185 for the windshield on the camaro. Especially with glass, a part fell off a tow truck and went through my front windshield. Just so happend that their truck company delt with glass, when they did my window for me it turned out like crap. Never leaked, but they used bulky trim that looked horrible. Just be careful when searching for the cheapest prices a lot of times you get what you pay for.

I worked for an auto glass distributor on long island for 9 years. We supplied most of the install shops. 82-92 F bodies only have one shield, part number DW1024GB. That the only one made green tint, blue shade..mean the main part of the glass has a slight green tint like most domestics and it has a blue shade at top. That's your one and only choice made. Don't goto Safelite, they use there own junk glass , go with a premium OEM brand like PPG or LOF. Let me know where your located and I'll suggest a good shop. Again they only make the shield with the shade for our cars.

Alex might want to jump in for that question. They might say that in case you have any rot around the shield so its fixed before the glass is installed or maybe just so that the glass isn't damages when your getting the car painted.
I didn't install glass I just worked for a distributor from 91-2000.

No the guy was right. If your doing a nice paintjob, all the glass gets pulled out, so the shop can take care of that for you when the car is getting painted, I have glass guys come to my shop n remove and install glass when I need them. Much cleaner and more quality paintjob that way, considering you need a new one anyway just do it when it's getting painted.
