Goodmark® – Windshield Molding

Description

Product DetailsWindshield Molding by Goodmark®. When classic and muscle cars were new, their windows were crystal clear, and raised and lowered easily and quietly. But now, after several decades and many miles, those same windows are chipped and scratched, they’re a chore to operate, and they rattle in the doors. Restore your windows to their original condition and make your classic feel as good as it looks with reproduction window components from the restoration experts at Goodmark.ManufacturingVideoAbout usFeaturesFaithful reproduction of the original partMade from the same material as the original partDesigned with the latest software and manufactured using modern toolingAuthentic moldings, bezels, etc. available for a thorough jobNothing says “”old car”” more than worn window glass. Drive down the road at night in a car with well over 100,000 miles on the odometer and you’ll see a plethora of minute stone chips when oncoming headlights strike the windshield. Even window glass without obvious impact damage like bullseyes and starbursts will have minute damage after so many miles. Is this the kind of glass you want to look through after spending so much time and money perfecting your paint, drivetrain and interior? Make your restored car look and function just like brand new with replacement auto glass and related components from the restoration experts at Goodmark. Restoring cars isn’t just a business for the people at Goodmark, they’re also car enthusiasts and restorers just like you, and they wouldn’t make anything they wouldn’t install on their own cars or trucks. Each auto glass component is CAD/CAM designed to make sure it exactly replicates the original part, and then it’s manufactured with the most modern tooling. Each design is test fit to make sure it looks and fits perfectly. Many Goodmark parts have been approved by the manufacturers of the original equipment and are licensed to be sold as genuine replacement parts. Goodmark has both clear and tinted door glass and vent window glass, some of which is available completely assembled in the frame. Goodmark also has everything you need to install a new windshield and window glass in your classic: a new windshield gasket, clips and moldings will top off a new windshield; installation kits, frames, channels, tracks and stops for door glass installation; and seals, weatherstripping, and felts to keep out the elements. Look to Goodmark for original equipment auto glass quality. Goodmark® was founded in 1991 by car enthusiasts, restorers and collectors just like you. They recognized that there was a need for quality restoration parts, especially sheet metal parts, if the restoration of our beloved American classics was to continue. Since that time, Goodmark has created a complete line of sheet metal, trim parts, and accessories for popular cars like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, and for previously difficult to restore cars like the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda. Goodmark uses CAD/CAM (computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing) software and modern tooling and manufacturing techniques to create parts that are identical to factory original for perfect fit and finish. Quality parts tooled and manufactured by Goodmark are enabling many more American classic and muscle cars to return to the road, looking just as fine as the day they rolled off the assembly line.

Goodmark Sheet Metal FYI Due to the nature of the material and production, the sheet metal products you receive may have scratches, dings, small dents and other minor imperfections which are considered normal. These imperfections will easily be corrected during the initial filling, priming and sanding of your repair or restoration. Goodmark does not consider dings, minor dents, scratches in the EDP primer or any other minor imperfection to be defective or damaged. ALL sheet metal panels will require some preparation and manipulation during the installation process for a show quality fit and finish. Goodmark recommends that all sheet metal panels should be test fit before any prep work or paint is applied. Minor modifications such as elongating mounting holes, adding shims, etc, are normal and may be necessary when you are installing the product. A few key facts to note are: Some driving conditions such as racing can put added stress on a vehicle’s frame causing it to twist out of the factory’s original tolerance specs. Poorly performed body work from a previous collision or restoration can cause problems with the body structure to which the panels are attached. A vehicle that has been sitting motionless, collecting rust, etc. for years may have developed a slumping frame, especially a sub framed car, which can cause fitment issues when installing new sheet metal products such as floor pans, fenders, doors and quarter panels. The above mentioned situations are just a few key examples that can cause sheet metal panels to be misaligned during a repair or restoration. One other fact to consider is the tolerances on a classic vehicle were not nearly as exact as they are on today’s modern vehicles. The primary reason is the assembly of most vintage or classic cars was performed by hand, not by the robotics that are used in today’s modernized facilities. Because of this, the mounting points and bolt-holes were unique to each vehicle. Due to the above procedures performed in the past there really is no such thing as a direct, “bolt on” body panel when it comes to older vehicles. Goodmark recommends that you hire a licensed professional that possesses the proper tools, knowledge, skills and experience necessary to install the new panels on your vehicle. A professional can anticipate or repair any imperfections your panels may have prior to installation.Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act:Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) Learn More Related LinksBody PartsWindow ComponentsWindow TrimGoodmark Window Components
