Fastback rear glass

[3Katz 26]

I'm stripping down the car for a rebuild and after reading the good comments on NPD rear window seal I'm wanting to place an order for a full rubber and felt kit. I have two massive wear marks in the glass where a rear louver was sitting at some stage and rubbing away. I need new glass and have read a bit about repro glass varying in thickness depending on manufacturer. Has anyone got any info on where I can get a good replacement rear window?

Currently we  get all the  glass  from  Auto  City  Classic,  they are in Minnesota.

The original glass is Carlite brand.  Ford still uses that same brand today.  Carlite is still available for these older Mustangs.  Double check, I think Carlite is what NPD sells.

Carlite windshields are still made ,but they are thinner than the original ,they look and fit well but you have to be carefull setting them

Depending on how deep the scratches are, you can use cerium oxide to remove them.

The scratches are deep grooves, no polishing out unfortunately. That's good to know about carlite as well, which would you use Ridge, do you have a preference?

Still carlite

If the scratch is  deep enough to  feel with  your  finger nail,  then it's not  coming out.
