(Note: As previously belived - windshields for these cars are NOT from any other German car. They are unique and non-existant. Until now.)

Please let me note that for example here in Finland we have one small factory which can make any windshield you ever want if you have an original to copy. I know the place because for me has been made windscreens for Scootacar micro car versions II and III ( a total of less that 250 such a cars has been made) in that factory.

Once the owner mentioned that he has mold for over 1000 different vintage car windshields. I know that they are selling their products around the world, for exmple for some fine cars of 1930's etc. They have as much orders and even more of them than they have time to deal with.

Making the steel mold costs, after that the windscreens are cheap. And of course those guys makes rear and side windows as well for any car. For example when buying Scootacar windscreens I orderd so many that I was able to split the mold costs within the number of windscreens and that is the typical way to have some rare windscreens for sale again.

I guess that there are several such a factories around the world, so if someone says that there is not available some kind of windows for some special old cars it just means that no one has ordered them... yet.
