Porsche 914 6 Windscreen Part Number: What You Need to Know

Finding the right windscreen for your Porsche 914 6 can be a challenge. The 914-6 shares many body panels with the standard four-cylinder 914, but the windshield is one of the few parts that is identical between the two. This article explains the correct part number, how to verify fitment, and what to consider when buying a replacement.

Understanding the Porsche 914 6 Windscreen Part Number

The original Porsche factory part number for the windshield on both the 914 and the 914-6 is 914 541 011 00. This part was used from 1970 to 1976 across all models. If you cross-reference this number with modern suppliers, you will often see it replaced with 914 541 011 01 or superseded numbers like 91454101100 and 91454101101. These are all essentially the same windshield.

The glass measures approximately 44.5 inches wide and 24 inches tall, with a distinct curvature that matches the 914's low profile. It is a laminated safety glass windshield with a green tint band at the top. The part number is usually printed on the glass itself, typically in the lower corner on the passenger side. If you have an original windshield, look for the etched number.

Is the 914-6 Windshield Different from the Standard 914?

No. The windshield for the 914/4 (four-cylinder) and the 914/6 (six-cylinder) is the same part. The body shell is identical in the windshield area. The only differences in the car are the engine, transmission, and some suspension components, but the glass is interchangeable. Therefore, any part number listed for the 914/4 will also fit the 914/6.

However, note that very early 914 production (1970) had a slightly different windshield with a different gasket. But this was quickly standardized. If your car is a pre-production or early 1970 model, double-check the gasket profile. Most replacement windshields sold today are for the later design and will fit with the correct rubber gasket.

Finding the Right Replacement: OEM vs. Aftermarket

You have two main options: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) glass or aftermarket glass. OEM means glass made by the original supplier, which for Porsche 914 was primarily Sigla or Pilkington. Aftermarket brands include PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works), Fuyao, and others.

OEM Part Numbers

• Original factory: 914 541 011 00 (superseded to 914 541 011 01)
• Sigla replacement: Often listed as 91454101101 or just "Porsche 914 windshield"
• Pilkington: Part number P342 (though this varies by distributor)

Aftermarket Part Numbers

Aftermarket windshields often use their own numbering system. Common numbers:

• PGW 10024N (for clear) or 10024G (for green-tinted)
• Fuyao FW00712 (green band)
• Safelite part number 10024 (but Safelite is a service, not a brand)

When ordering from a supplier like Pelican Parts, 914Rubber, or Stoddard (avoid direct mention of marketplaces), you can search "914 windshield" and they will usually list the OEM part number. Be specific: ask for green tint band, as that is correct for the 914-6.

Gasket and Installation

The windshield does not come with the gasket. You need to buy a separate seal. The correct gasket part number for the 914 is 914 545 021 00 (rubber for windshield). This gasket is crucial for a watertight fit. Many owners also use butyl tape as an additional sealant between glass and rubber. The gasket is identical for 914/4 and 914/6.

Installation is not a DIY job unless you have experience with classic car windshields. The glass is heavy and fragile. Professional installation is recommended. Expect to pay $200-$400 for installation depending on your location.

Where to Buy (Avoiding Marketplaces)

You can purchase the windshield directly from classic Porsche parts specialists. Examples include:

• Pelican Parts: They list the OEM windshield under part number 91454101101.
• 911Design (though 911-focused, they carry 914 parts)
• Classic Porsche parts suppliers like Stoddard or Auto Atlanta.
• Your local Porsche dealer may still order it, but be prepared for a long wait and high price.

Prices range from $200 for aftermarket to $400+ for OEM glass. Shipping is expensive due to fragility, so try to buy locally if possible.

Tips for Buying

• Always confirm the part number with the seller before purchasing.
• Ask if the glass includes the green tint band. Many aftermarket windshields are clear only, which looks incorrect on a 914-6.
• Check for DOT certification (should have DOT-18 or DOT-11 marking).
• Inspect the glass upon delivery for scratches or defects. Reject if damaged.

Final Recommendation

For a Porsche 914-6, the correct windshield part number is 914 541 011 01 (superseded from 914 541 011 00). Use an OEM replacement from Sigla or Pilkington if originality matters to you, or a quality aftermarket unit from PGW or Fuyao if you are on a budget. Always buy a new gasket (914 545 021 00) and have a professional install it. Do not reuse the old gasket – it will likely leak. Check the windshield for the green tint band; clear windshields were never factory on the 914-6. With the right part and proper installation, your 914-6 will stay dry and look correct.
