    New Targa Rear Glass - NLA?

    I was trying to see if factory Sigla or high quality replacement glass was being made for my '70 Targa and to my surprise there is nothing out there.

    Has this been the case for years or is the lack of availability more recent?

    It is hard to imagine that used glass is the only option for all of the Targa bodied cars.

    Except for the defroster strips, the Targa glass is pretty close to indestructible.

    Mine has the two position defrost switch and the factory "green" tint. Scared of taking it out now. Not that I need it working, but how bad is the restoration procedure? Or is there one?
