Hey guys,

While in the process of (hopefully) completing my 65 GTO, I had to order the passengers side door glass, as mine was missing when I bought the car. I ordered, through Jegs, the door glass from Auto Metal Direct. When unboxing the glass I immediately discovered the glass to be wrong. They sent me a window for a 64 post car I believe. Additionally saw that the color of the glass is much much greener as compared to my OEM vent and quarter glass that will be positioned directly next to the door glass. i was contacted by Auto Metal Direct who said they were trying to locate the proper piece. When I asked about the color differences between the new piece and my OEM, I was told that, due to 40 plus years of UV rays etc. the OEM would appear to be a different color. I guess it makes sense but has anyone else come across this situation?? I looked at OPGIs website and saw (in a picture ) that their piece looks bluer, more like my OEM. Any input is appreciated

Thanks
Ken
