Hi,
Does anyone know which type of top glass is shown in below picture? Manufacturer?
Seems (at least to me) sealing line is different to most of aftermarket parts I have seen so far.
Which colour available represents most the white original? Pinpoint vinyl>> FORD white, GM white, Brite white, Bone, Oxford white, or none of them?

Another question in this respect. Is it really needed to unzip glass window before opening top?
Thx
Ralf

The original marking should be CORNING
Yes, the rear window ought to be unzipped to relieve stress on the top when it goes into the well. Otherwise, you risk pinching or other issues.
Can't help on the colors other than 65-66 was an off-white and 67-8 a bit more plain white.

To add, the aftermarket and service tops are PPG marked typically.PPG got the ford contract in 1971 I believe. So it has been that long. If you wanted Corning you will have to find a used rear glass have it re seamed in the middle then have it sewed into the top. I once had a glass Co (OEM glass now gone) etch the Corning trademark into a new replacement glass.
