when i purchased my swc the previous owner who was the third owner gave me the back glass as he installed new tinted glass,both need a good cleaning but otherwise no cracks.just curious as to the coding on my glass,it has: safety plate,AS2 LOF solid tempered TI (could be a 1) that is it. the few books i have do not have those letters for a 63, was just wondering if anyone knows what that is or maybe i just have another after market part, thanks

Re: swc glass
Scott,
Mike is steering you correctly to the NCRS Specification Guide. All member should have this book. It is packed with lots of great information.
Regarding your back window. I believe, based upon the data in the book (pages 154-155) that the back window is indeed the original. Here is how the code breaks down:
LOF: Manufacturer, Libby-Owens-Ford
AS2: American Standard specification rating
T: August
I: 1962
As you can see, it would be perfectly believable that a rear window that was manufactured in Aug. of 1962 would wind up in a 1963 SWC.
Hope this helps,
