Direct from Pilkington. They have a classic department.  Immediately on arrival, lay it carefully on a flat surface.  Do all four corners touch?  Good.  If one is off a tiny amount, that’s probably ok.  Not square at all?  Ask for a replacement.

Mine was fine but another lister went through three!

I'd add that Pilkington was the OEM supplier. Also before you order, check to see if there is a Pilkington depot in your area because you can save shipping costs if you pick it up there.

I don't know it. Just call them and order the windshield for your car.
