I found the best source for new glass is Pilkington https://www.pilkingtonclassics.com/. They come with the Triplex logo etched in. Hint: If you have it shipped to a business instead of your house, the shipping costs are much lower. I bought a replacement for my BN4, but they also make them for BTs.

I believe they use the same supplier as Moss. The glass seems soft. Pits and chips easily. My original (which I saved) has micro scratches from the wiper blades. But no chips or pits. I would love to get it polished and use it as I think the quality is far better. The first replacement I got did not match the curve of the chrome and had to be exchanged.

Looks like Pilkington is out of stock on the clear windshields. They only have green tinted ones.
I installed a British Victoria-sourced windshield on my '60 BN7, replacing one that someone had apparently scored with a diamond right in front of the driver. I can't say how the windshield will fend off the usual damaged one gets on windshields, but I am perfectly satisfied with the product. I bought the rubber strips and the corner pieces along with the windshield. When I finally got it all together--and it can be challenging--I found my L-shaped corner pieces would not draw down the corners of the windshield frame. The originals, predictably, were roached with rust. I plugged two of the holes on on limb of each of the top L pieces, filled the holes and redrilled them closer together so that I could pull the four corners of the windshield snuggly together. This had nothing to do with the windshield, itself, but in the fit of the corner pieces. I probably would have bought from Pilkington had I known they offered the glass. My car has a Smitty transmission. That factor, the basic unoriginality of the car, makes me unconcerned about details like windshield glass markings.
