[Shotimes] SHO cracked windshield--recommended vendors?

[Ian Fisher]

Back to the original post about 95 windshields. I have
heard that Ford switched to a slightly more tinted
windshield in 1995 to counteract the deficiencies in r
134a cooling. As we know, most SHO's prior to 94 ran
r12 which cools better. If anyone has a 95 with an OEM
windshield, take a look at the vendor tag and compare
it to one with an OEM pre-95. I think that the vendor
is different. I found this out from a friend who had
both a 94 and a 95.
