Re: looking for PPG front winshield for 87 iroc.
It means Pittsburgh Glass, they were one the of original supplier for windshields back then, now they are PGW (Pittsburgh glass works) GM also used LOF which is Plinkerton now. So if you look on the pasenger side bottom of the windshield it will say PPG or LOF and my was a PPG and i am trying to keep my car as original as possible.

Re: looking for PPG front winshield for 87 iroc.
Yes i think camaro and firebird windshields are the same, and look and see if it says PPG or LOF on the passengers side bottom of the window. I would be interested if it is a PPG, and if it is in good shape, no scratches/wiper marks or delamination around the perimeter shading. You can text me @ 412-980-4979 are you close to PA?

Re: looking for PPG front winshield for 87 iroc.
No, none have them etched into the glass, windows can be replaced and they woudnt put vin # on them, they are all stamped on the inside, on a vin plate that is riveted on the cowl frame on the drivers side that has a area of the window that is not tinted so it can be viewed thru the windshield.

Re: looking for PPG front winshield for 87 iroc.
Hey there,
Just noticed your post. If you're still looking, I have this windshield. It was removed from a new Camaro being turned into a race car. Been stored ever since. The wording below is exactly what's on the glass. I can get you pix. Don't have a clue about what it's worth. Will do some research. I'm near Indianapolis. Email indianavette@aol.com

Re: looking for LOF front winshield for 87 iroc.
Hey guys, i have had no luck finding a PPG windshied for my restoration, but it turns out that i need a LOF windshield instead, because the rest of my glass is LOF which i just noticed, and i am trying to keep my car as original as possible. So if you have a 87-92 camaro/firebird that you are parting, look and see on the passenger side bottom of the window, it will say it there. Thanks, you can text me at 412-980-4979
