Windshield Tint Color
 

I remember coming across several posts in the past, but a search has proved inconclusive. As far as windshield tint goes, are there three flavors or only two?

I thought there was only bronze and blue, but my insurance company rep is telling me there is bronze, blue, and green.

So I've looked at my windshield, and I'll be damned if it doesn't look teal , which as we all know is blueish green! So this had me stumped.

Are there really three colors of tint to choose from, or is the insurance guy clowning me?

Alright! Found the answer. According to Larry:

"The windshield in the SVX comes in 2 tint colors. One is blue-green for gray-charcoal interiors. The other color is a bronzey tint for beige interiors. Both colors come with the titaniun-oxide coating to stop UV rays. (It' also prtects the interiorif you regularly park at a nuclear pwer plant- he he).

This coating interferes with radio wavves (radar). "


Looks like my insurance guy has a sense of humor.

I was only aware of the two, but, I just looked in the 92-94 parts catalogue. They list both Subaru and NAGS part numbers

Perhaps your windshield has been replaced before, using a NAGS part.

My 94-96 Subaru Parts Microfiche shows three colors with part numbers and lists production dates and models equipped.

The only exception to this rule was the 1992 Claret/black combination. It had the gray interior AND bronze glass.

(I often wondered why they left the gray interiors in the Laguna Blue, after all other combinations went to beige/tan. maybe they thought the bronze glass wouldn't look good with blue paint.)

Hi everyone, This is really interesting, but wierd.From the time I got my '92 it had the blue/green tint across the top of the windshield. A pretty normal color for most cars. When my car was redone after my daughters little excursion, I was surprised to see it was bronze. I just thought that was what they could get ,but now I see it must have been replaced before with the wrong tint. Its always something. Take care, BOBB

There are other exceptions for the bronze windows.

Hey Ihopp, Don't keep us in suspense. BOBB

D--N--Spent 15 min typing what the Subaru parts micrfiche shows and just as I hit "Repy" I was disconnected and lost it all. I will do it again tomorrow.

I have microfiche sets for 92-94 and 94-96. They list the data differently, but I will again post what they show.
