roadster windshields 28-29 and 30-31

[74bowtie]

I am wondering what the differences are and how to tell them apart, between the two roadster windshields the 1928-29 and the 1930-31.

Most of the 1928-9 windshields should have a single hole for the hand wiper. About mid 1929 power wipers were offered.

I sure hope some knowledgeable folks respond to 74bowtie's thread.

I am interested in learning more about the differences between windshields. Where do you measure a windshield? In the middle? On the end? Mine is 14" in the middle and 14 3/4" on the end and chrome. Which windshields were painted and which were chrome? Mine has no holes except for side cover snap ons. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Easy- 1930-1931 roadster windshield frames have a groove up the outside verticle edges for the rubber. 1928-1929 roadster windshield frames are smooth on the outer edges- no grooves. Deluxe 30-31 roadster frames are 1 1/4 inches shorter then std roadster frames.

The guy I bought it from didnt know but it was with some '30 parts.

It doesn't look to be a model A windshield.

Really? It came with a load of Model A parts with a '30 Coupe the guy I bought it from had. Oh well Model A windshield or not it has the right curve and will work. Beats having to make one myself.

I think that is a closed car windshield if I'm not mistaken. Most open car windshields were more a round tube than flat.

Thank U much

This one is flat metal on the sides and round at the top. I am guessing that opening n the drivers side top is where the wiper motor mounted.
