Help w/ which 964 windshield (there are 4 PNs) to install into a late G body?
 

Greetings all,

I am planning to retrofit a factory 964 windshield and a factory 964 windshield seal to both my 1987 and 1989 911s.

Unfortunately, per the attached Technical Bulletin, my 1989 missed coming with the 964 windshield (and seal) originally by ~75 VINs...

There are four different 964 windshield part numbers...

964 541 011 00
Windscreen Tinted

964 541 011 09
Windscreen Tinted

964 541 011 01
Windscreen Tinted, Green Top Tint

964 541 011 10
Windscreen Tinted, Green Top Tint

Apart from the last two having green top tint, does anyone know the differences between the four part numbers?

I will be using factory rubber seal:
964 541 225 00.

Next question, does anyone know if the rear view mirror mount / plinth is the same, or if I'll need a 964 rear view mirror too?

Final question (for now) does anyone have recommendations for local shops in SoCal or SF Bay Area that have successfully installed the 964 windshield retrofit into a G body? My interior / upholstery guy in San Diego has done it and I will go with him for the installs, but I'd like to have a list of any shops with salient experience handy for reference purposes.

There are a few threads here regarding 964 windshield retrofits, but nothing definitive. Some say it works, others have had issues, etc. I'll report back after my own installs and, hopefully, this thread can be used as a more definitive reference, including part numbers, etc.

The patients...

The rearview mirror "puck" that the mirror body mounts to is just glued onto the windshield. New windshields do not come with them mounted. You can just reuse your old one and glue it onto the new windshield. The installer should do this for you

Good news. Thx!

I have a 964 screen and seal in my SC and I would recommend looking for the aerial booster that plugs into the screen to enable you to take advantage of the built in aerial. You can then delete the wing mounted one

Thank you Ian. Both my '87 and '89 already incorporate the in-screen antenna + booster.

Also, neither of my cars have a radio.

Checking in. How did this turn out? What windshield/seal part numbers were used and did they fit? I have an '81 SC with a cracked windshield so I am exploring going this route. Any info/help would be appreciated.

Well, I acquired a 964 windshield and 964 rear glass, pre-owned, from Autobahn Dismantling in El Cajon, CA (the one time recepient of used parts from Singer's builds), so, unfortunately, I don't know which part number I ended up with. Here are the markings...

What I definitely can say is that I am LOVING the look of the 964 front & rear glass + seals, especially in conjunction with the 993 rear quarter window seals. So much cleaner / smoother than the old school classic trim setup...

That.......looks awesome. Nice work. I wasn't tuned in on the quarter glass having a 993 seal option, either. I will check that out.

much better! it always bothered me how even with a factory seal, the corners get sucked in

nice, thanks was looking for this info for a long time

Nice job and looks great i have the same front in my 911-white 911 is my 2nd best color;-)

Does anyone know if the 964 windshield seal can be used with a stock 1988 911 windshield? Object is to eliminate the shrinking plastic trim pieces. What about the rear 964 seal, can it be used with a stock 911 rear glass also?

No. From what I have read you have to use 964 rubber with 964 glass. I believe the glass is different sizes.
