Is the antenna located on the passenger side?

Thanks Ethan, if you remember Friday...sure!

I wonder what the 43xxxxx number signifies?

I think the "AS1" designation means tinted.

Mine has a green/blue stripe on the top, I wonder if this is "tint band" if so what does "tinted" mean?

It is all starting to make sense now....

Thanks

yeah the 'embedded' (could not resist) antenna is located on the passenger side...around the top & down the middle

Mine says:

Sekurit
Verbund
43R 000 880
DOT27/M75/AS1
VSG Tinted

Mine does have antenna just as Tom Carson's.
Hope that helps.

I think that I can use a 944 glass and save close to $500 canadian in doing so!!!!

I think the only difference between the 944 & 968 windshields would be the antenna. Since the early 944's had a fender-mounted antenna I imagine the part #'s would be the same for the early 944's & the 968's.

And the "tint band" is only tinted at the top, while the "tinted" is all tinted (and maybe a little darker at the top).

I had mine replaced a year ago when I got my car, but it's not a porsche part # (#019656 @ SafeLite Autoglass if you care <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ). I can't get to the car right now to double check but I imagine it's a Porsche part anyways since the quality & fit is superb and I even think it has the same stamp on it as the rest of the windows.

The air bag actually hits the windshield first before inflating towards the passenger. A missinstalled windshield will pop out or not pop out and cause a failure in the air bags ability to be efficient. Not sure which way it is. But it is important to the function.
