Difference between windshields

What's the difference between a coupe windshield and a convertible windshield. Wanting to buy a windshield to cut down and a coupe windshield is a lot cheaper will it work?. I do not care if the molding is different just curious on overall contour and size.

I think the convertible is shorter and is at a different angle. I belive people had coupes cut to fit convertibles or something like that.




On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.

My convertible had coupe glass in it when I bought it... I had it replaced recently, and the glass shop put convertible glass in it.

The difference? Tinted bar across the top. That's it.

I have always had plexi lexan, could never find somebody to attempt to cut one.

Does the vert have the bar? I have never seen a coupe with tint around here.

The convertible glass that the glass shop installed has the tinted bar across the top, yes. I have never seen a tinted sunshield on any coupe.. though I really cannot remember my first convertible having the tint either... but the glass had to be flown in for me. There was allegedly only one in the whole country.

Mike!
I haven't logged in this site in forever! I came on and was checking to see how your ride is doing?
It's been years! I figured by now you've done another car already. :p

Man, I miss the old days.

Hope all is well bud.

whats up buddy? its been years! how have you been? do you still have the sun fire? this website just isn't the same, the whole "ricer" theme is gone, and just nobody doing much crazy body mods like back in the day! I still have my car and is currently white, i did remove the s2000 tails and spoiler and just smoothed everything out in the back, and installed some led light bars in the rear bumper.
