Figures!....
Part I wanted: 68111-90302
Defaulted to the part I received: 68111-90304
I take it, the 90302 maybe clear while the 90304 is tinted green?
I know you said you're OCD, Rick... but, is it really going to be noticeable to a mere mortal??
I'm colorblind, so I'm not a "mere mortal"... it's not that obvious to me.

looks like it was superseded to that number... IE no more clear glass
used may be the only way to go now

Yep, working on obtaining some decent clear glass. Thanks......OR, just leave the bikini top on and no doors! Thus, I reinstall the old scratched glass, but try to polish it as best I can. Which the top and doors would only be installed for a short Winter season......Hummmmmmm
I do like this look.

Another possible option might be to have a uniform tinted film applied to ALL the glass to eliminate the contrast. Benefit would be reduced heat in the summer with the top on. Some tint shops have a liquid tint they float over curved glass.
Since the film is removable, could test fit a piece for color matching. (Various states prohibit film on front windshield; some allow a top strip.)
Anyway, just a thought, when only new glass available is factory tinted.

Dadgummit, your truck is so freakin' beautiful! That pic is just something else.
Sorry... carry on with the banter about window tinting.

option 3:
replace ALL your glass with green tint NEW oem windows .... come on you know you want to...

What glass pieces do you need? I have some extra door glass that's in good shape you can have if it would help.

My Friend, I'd be much obliged! It would be at least the drivers side door glass for a '77 FJ40.....I swear, it looks like someone tried to use an old pair of metal spiked golf shoes to clear frost off of it....send me a PM if you have a few pieces.

My windows are all the same way and clear glass as well - victim of a previous PO and their crap paint job . Evidently, they used a carbide tipped scraper to remove the excess overspray and destroyed the glass. Looks like someone sat on it, and dragged it across concrete.

I'm amazed still at your ability to find this info, in comparison to the standard issue local parts counter folks...
