Replacement windshield Gen 1.

[55CrownVic]

Had my windshield replaced a few days ago. Gen 1 with rain sensing wipers. Was supposed to OEM windshield but when I got car back it was an aftermarket. The rain sensor looks like an add on and sits well below the mirror. If someone could post a picture of the original showing the area from outside the windshield, I would appreciate it. Never thought to take a picture before I left car since it was supposed to be an OEM.
Thanks,

I'll see what I can do, but mine is a Gen 2.

I found this photo in a search, and took a screenshot.

To be fair, there probably isn't any OEM glass left.

That's what I was thinking... except for pulling a boneyard windshield, and that can be very tricky.

Thanks for your responsesJoe and 04 Sport. The screenshot you posted looks exactly like what is on my new windshield- one reason I think it is an add on. Joe, you may be right about no OEM glass available. Plikington doesn't even show a USA presence on their website. Guess I will live with the one I got.

Pilkington glass stopped making auto glass years ago. In the mid 2000's I think.

The last Pilkington plant in my area... shuttered their doors in the late 90's.
