This DOT approved windshield is manufactured by Pilkington for the SSR. It is NOT made in China. It has all of the correct curves, contours and fitment of the OEM glass. The windshield antenna is in the exact position as the original as well. Also on this windshield is both the GM approved GM Quality logo and the “SSR” logo. These were the same on the glass produced and delivered to the Lansing Craft Center production line in 2003-06.
The process of creating this windshield began by borrowing one of the last brand new OEM windshields (still in the OEM box) from an SSR owner in Utah. That spare glass was hand carried to Simple Engineering in Phoenix and then hand carried to Pilkington for mold creation. Simple Engineering chose the production contour that was the best match for the OEM out of the 4 prototype samples offered. It then took more than 2 years to get GM to approve the logos, the glass, and then finally get production of the windshields.
Fesler USA has long been a specialty glass company with strong ties to Pilkington and the performance aftermarket community. Simple Engineering is very pleased for them to provide the SSR windshield to the SSR community.
