Help...... Got a friend gonna scour some junkyards in the next week or so for parts for his (modern FWD hatchback) and he asked if I needed anything....well, i need a windshield!! Can anyone tell me what others apart from the Valiant (If any) windshields fit? I heard Dart & something else fit, but wanna be sure... Its a '63 V200 Wagon. Thanks again for your assistance Dave Lance Armstrong Foundation http://www.laf.org/ |

I know 63-66 Valiant and Barracuda are the same, and I think the Same year Darts. BTW, those windshields wre still available "new", as of last year. Price was about $225 installed, at my location. Call some auto glass companies. |

1963 thru 1966 Dart and Valiant windshields are the same. All the junkyard windshields are likely to be fogged at the edges by now. I was fortunate a few years back to get a brand new one just by checking with the local auto glass shop. It wasn't too much, less than $200 installed if I remember correctly. |

I have read in multiple places that the hardtop and vert cars have different windshields than the post/4dr cars.. one of them was taller or something. I *think* in the interchange manual it shows they are all the same (don't have it in front of me, so I'm just going from memory). Does anyone have a definative answer on this? |

I can tell you that the windshield that came out of my 63 4 door Valiant was slightly wider at the top than the New replacement I have. If you check the parts books, they all have the same number for that year and for a few years later. I think it may be some sort production tolerance issue. I have had a bit of trouble sealing it, but I think most of it is that I didn't know what I was doing when I installed it. I knew the process, just didn't have the practice down. I will be much better at the next install. Which with the rainy season coming, may be anytime. John |

The auto glass indexing system used in North America is called NAGS. The NAGS number for the windshield to fit all '63-'66 A-bodies is DW-625. |
