As you can see, I am missing some of the logos, for example I do not have any ’64 glass logos for rear or side screens.
The side glass logos have varies quite a bit:
The font evolved, especially on the TRIPLEX
The AS2 seemed to be placed on the bottom for ’63 glass, but only for the door windows
The door windows were printed in reverse (but always identical left & right)
From ’65 (’64?) onward additional markings were introduced
The size of the logos have varied
The mysterious dot in the middle of XXX popped up and went away – I have no idea what it meant.
The heart was of 2 or 3 designs varying by the shape of the S and the top.
The headlamp glass had extra dots between TRIPLEX and TOUGHENED.
The S (sheet) glass was mostly used for door windows while P (Plate) glass was mostly used for other side glass.
’67 heated boot lid glass was made in AS1 quality!..
Other symbols explained:
L – Laminated
T – Toughened, heat treated
P – Plate Glass
S – Sheet Glass
T – Toughened Glass
V – for vehicle use??
F – Float Glass, used since ’63 when float glass begun to be available
WF – Front windscreen quality – used since 65
AS1 or AS2, where AS stands for American Standard. AS1 means glass is with at least 70% transmission and can be used anywhere on a vehicle (by default used on the windshield), AS2 is used for side glass.
designation: TP.GS.6 AGRÉÉ meaning certified, authorized.
TP.GS. meaning “Transport Publique, Gestion de Securite” – the homologation body) and 6 is the homologation number. In ’66 the French homologation designation changed from the two line format to single line and now read: AG TPGS6.
M3 or M6 – Manufacturer codes, describing different models of glass – used since ‘65
French Homologation Designation, used since ’54. It consists of “AGRÉÉ” and the standard
D - German approval, introduced in ’67. It was a sine wave followed by letter D and a number. D90 was used on ‘60s Triplex glass.
The windscreen glass also varied, however to a lesser extent. There were fewer versions of it.
Windscreen logos from '68 onwards used a different design:
(it’s actually Aston Martin windscreen form '68 Q1, but I believe logo design changed for e-types as well.)
I need photos of the logos that are missing please - your help will be most appreciated. As you can see, I am missing most of the SUNDYM logos, '64 logos, some logos for '61, '66, '67-'69
Also, if your glass logo is different than specified by me for a particular year, please let me know.
Interesting that the door glass (driver’s side) had been replaced with a junkyard piece. Yes, the logo is backwards when viewed from the outside. The passenger side glass marking is:
Is this possibly original? It does seem to match what you have for a '68 door window, but it is right way around when viewed from the outside. As this is an OTS there are no quarter windows or hatch window.
You can see it’s a '67, as there is a dot etched below the 7th letter of TOUGHENED.
I am not 100% sure, but there seems to be a dot above T in TRIPLEX, am I right? If so, it’s a 'Quarter 1 glass.
This is original to your car, most probably. Glass shipments usually were about 2-4 months before the car was manufactured.
Your chart shows you’re looking for 1967 logos for Sundym rear and side glass. Here are a couple of pics from my late 1967 FHC (early July '67 build date).
Sorry the side glass pic isn’t clearer (there are dots under the “S” and “M”) but the logo is the same as the rear glass and door glass except for the location of the dots, ie. date of manufacture.
