    I had one that was tinted gold or amber, anyway it was strange being used to blue tint at the top of the winshield. I don't know the first thing about polishing old auto glass, but I will attest what a joy it is to look through new replacement glass with no pits or glare. <$200 around here. Get rid of the metal molding.

        THe stock windshield for 91-up cars has a black rubber molding bonded to it. It's a direct replacement and usually runs $10 more or so. It's better than trying to deal with 15-year old bent aluminum pieces.
