Does anyone out there know where I can purchase all new glass (vents, quarters and doors) for a 1963 Dart GT convertible (tinted or clear)? I recently had a really bad experience with Classic Industries. Long story short, they advertised DOT approved tempered glass but everything they sent me was laminated and cracked during installation. You could even see the laminate poking out the bottom of the pressed pieces of glass. They claimed it wasn't laminated until I sent them pictures of the glass windows clearly stamped "LAMINATED" and they gave me a full refund.

Nowhere that I know of. I believe your only option for new might be the windshield and I'm not 100% sure that's available. Good luck. We have a good member who might have some used stuff. @Lee Robinson can you help?

Is vent glass and door glass the same for hardtop and convertible? I know vent frames are different. I probably have vent glass and door glass.
I would have no 1/4 glass for convertible. Lee
 
You might try Bob Classic Auto Glass in Oregon
His site shows he has just about everything for the Classics.
 
Have you tried ECS Automotive Concepts? The carry some date coded glass. Not sure about glass for a '63 model. It's all flat glass except the windshield, so, it shouldn't be too hard to cut some glass and temper it. Might be expensive though. The glass should be the same from '63-6 for most of it. The vent glass is hardtop and convertible only, the door glass is also convertible and hardtop only except Barracuda. and the quarter glass is convertible only. Naturally, if you go used or new ones off the shelf, there will be differences in date codes and logos.

Yea it is the same. I knocked my ‘63 vertible glass off the bench and put a barracuda glass in it.
 
Many thanks to Lee Robinson who happens to live about an hour away from me. I was able to meet him last Friday and purchase 2 original tinted vent windows from him that were in excellent condition to replace my old clear ones that weren't so clear anymore. Thanks Lee!
