Torana Glass

Hi Fellas,

What is the story with the green glass for Toranas?  I am trying to piece together a set of original glass for my hatch but I just picked up a left hand drivers glass which I was told was clear. It looked a bit too green to be clear but I didn't have anything to compare it to so I just bought it. 

I got it home to find its green in comparison to my other glass panels. The other glass i have pretty much clear with a tiny tinge of green.

Is this green a film that can be removed? Can it be polished out?  

Thanks Liz, it does not look like a film

It will probably have anti sun printed somewhere on it

As far as I am aware it was an option 

I also have the same and definately right through the glass

Hi, just be careful if you get tinted glass for the front as I'm pretty sure it is no longer legal.  Cheers Ron

You may be right.  I was just going off what I had previously downloaded regarding Victorian rules. Which seemed to make me think there could be issues when seeking a road worthy.  Here is pdf file.  Cheers Ron

I remember helping my mate doing rego checks years ago.

We had to measure the tint for it to be passed.

Had to be fairly dark for it to fail.

My newly acquired VF SS has pretty dark glass as standard.

Same as my VE SS in 2006

Hi Rob.  Out of curiosity, how do you measure the tint darkness?  On a separate note, I am wondering would it be better to get my side windows tinted before they are fitted to the car or after? Cheers Ron

they use a machine, shines a light through the glass the amount of light lost due to tint determines the percentage of the tint

Thanks for the info guys

It was a gadget attached to the brake tester in the early days.

Cheers

Factory Anti-Sun... it's the business.

Good luck piecing together a full set, though. I didn't know you could buy anything with green tint new, that is certainly interesting.

If you have no use for it, I may consider taking it off your hands.
