Windshield top tinted band color
Hi,
Was the original color of the windshield top tinted band brown ? My windshield is a bit rough, so it might be another reason to change it.
Thanks

Re: Windshield top tinted band color
Nope, was blue to my knowledge, but brown is the product of 20+ years of UV damage.
I actually removed a few stickers off the top of my windshield, and can still see them in blue even with the sticker gone.

Re: Windshield top tinted band color
to my knowledge the strip was blue, along with every other car ever made... but yeah after years of sitting in the sun the strip on my dads old volvo turned brown so i think you might want to invest in a new windshield

Re: Windshield top tinted band color
Ive never seen a car come through our lot with a band faded from blue to brown. My 85 Z28 has a tan band across the top, It matches the gold perfectly.
This is when i bought it two summers ago, the tires looked like sh*t lol

Mine had turn brown over the years. Got a new windshield couple years ago and it's back to being blue.
