Windshield tint color
Almost every time glass is discussed, the tint color is mentioned. How important is it that the color actually match? I can't even tell what color mine is. (I believe it's supposed to be bronze). Anyone ever used a windshield that was the "wrong" color?

Re: Windshield tint color
This car in this picture has a bronze windshield and blue glass on the door. It is not that noticable to me, but it would probably bother me after a while. See how it does not match the rear window or windshield? If it were only the windshield I imagine it would be less noticeable.

Re: Windshield tint color
My 92 has bronze windshield and blue everything else. Previous owner had windshield replaced..
Yes it is noticeable. Really stands out on overcast days as pictured below:  I am eventually going to tint the other windows with a black tint so it looks less blue. Its either that or put in all bronze glass on the rest of the windows...

Re: Windshield tint color
I recently had a new OEM windshield installed in my Claret. Bronze is no longer available. I don't miss all the road wear that made my windshield almost opaque in the sunlight.
