Anyone here on the DCR purchased an aftermarket windshield glass for their 1966 or 1967 Coronet in particular, or any Mopar in the past year or so?
This is one area in aftermarket restoration parts that I really don't have a quality resource for, but I do have a friend who handles AMD products if I go that route. The reason that I'm asking, is because I'm planning on replacing the original factory installed windshield glass on my 1966 Coronet 500 2 door hardtop, so I'd really like to find the very best quality of aftermarket glass available to help avoid leaking and other issues after installation.
As mentioned, I have seen the AMD windshields being offered on Ebay as shown in the auction below.

Pros and cons of this glass?
Is this the best current pricing for Mopar aftermarket windshields?
I've heard that one of the problems with some of the aftermarket glass, is that it's thinner than the original factory glass, which causes major water leakage and wind noise when used with the aftermarket windshield gaskets which aren't as well made as the original factory gaskets were either.
I have no water leaking issues with my current original windshield, but it is pitted after being in place since the car was new and I will also need to remove the windshield in order to remove my complete dashboard assembly for painting and restoration, so I'm a little worried about the problems that I've heard about others having after installing an aftermarket windshield glass and gaskets. :p
Thanks in advance for your folks help.
