When they made the Daytona did they use the same back window on the plug?

No the Daytona/500 rear glass is much larger than a standard Charger rear window. AMD was making them,but they discontinued them. I paid $1200.00 shipped when they were still available.
Pete is it flat or does it have a curve. Just wondering. Thanks

Good day sir,
The glass has a crown in the center, it's not flat

Does it delete the dutchman panel or plug welds to it?

Did Chrysler make the glass in 1969?
You and Mike just need to sell your old Mopars and buy a '69 Daytona.

The dutchman panel stayed installed, the window plug lays over it. At the bottom where the bottom glass channel is there's a brace and that gets tact welded to the dutch panel. I've seen anywhere from 3 to 4 tacts. In refence to post #8 in the first picture

Chrysler did have the McGraw Glass plant in Detroit during that time.
AMD discontinued the Daytona/500 rear glass.Ask AMD if they have their reproductions ready.
It was date coded Chrysler glass.

I’m happy with mine. I don’t know what Dave is planning with his Charger. You guys that own Charger’s have them deep pockets, so there’s no telling. Clone maybe?

Joe Dirt was on TV last night and the scene with Jamie Pressley has a very good shot as it pans across the rear. It shows the curvature of the rear glass

I don't think you can use that as a good example, from several sources I've read so far, the Joe Dirt Daytona clone used a Vega back glass when it was built....a not uncommon practice.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Daytona/500 rear windows were factory stock from a van or something???? I may not be remembering correctly (?)
