Title: 230SL Glass dilemma - tinted or clear???
Post by: Scottcorvette on August 19, 2021, 10:18:11
After a long period of inactivity on my Pagoda project I am starting to think about doing something else to it. Reading on here that windshields are getting in short supply or possibly no supply I figured I ought to get something organised. I would have preferred an original screen but it may be that I have to go repro.

Trouble is I can't decide on clear or tinted, Im pretty sure I read on here that all 230's had clear glass but I cant find it now. is that right?

My side glass is clear and is near perfect but the hardtop I have has tinted glass, so my plan was to replace the original clear side glass with tinted, order a tinted windshield and if it proves to be not available then get a repro one.

The other option is to change the hard top glass to clear, but then it would all have to be repro glass.

Any thoughts?

I think the only option for the windshield was a tinted band on top. My 280SL has that and the windshield is still original

I have a new repro tinted screen in stock if you need it.
