3rd Gen Windshield Compatibility
Will a 1992 Camaro windshield fit on a 1991 base Firebird? I took some measurements at the local pick-n-pull and they seem to be the same. Is there a curvature or something else I need to consider? Thanks in advance.

82-92 Camaro & Firebird, all the same size. If you look hard enough, you can find one with the antenna in it & shave your radio antenna.

Ummmm... when did a 3rd gen F-body ever have the antenna embedded in the windshield? That's a new one to me if this is true.

Stock? I doubt it, but I have seen them offered but couldn't get one last year when my windshield was replaced.

Re: 3rd Gen Windshield Compatibility
all the glass, windshield, door glass, and rear glass (with the exception of the verts rear) are all the same dimensions and are interchangeable across all years/makes of 3rd gens.
