    Windshield Replacements And Repairs: Which Insurance Policy?

    Since this is a repair-related topic, but since there is much debate over if the windshield is part of the "body" or not (whereas repairing a windshield is or is not body work,) please move this thread if it is better suited to another Sub-Forum, thanks. Since I've lately been curious about...

    Windshield Compatibility

    I was wondering if it was possible to put a DW1474 windshield for a gen3 Explorer into a gen2 Explorer? DW1206 is the windshield for gen2, but RockAuto (and others) seem to think that DW1206 will work for gen2 and gen3 Explorers. So maybe DW1474 would work for both too? BUT! Other sites say...

    I recently came into possession of a window that I was told was for a Ford Explorer Sportrac. The only way I can identify it is by some numbers on it. It says Ford Carlite tempered as3 dot 287 m203 db09768ypy. Does anyone have any idea what it would go to?
