Is that 36 Centigrade or Fahrenheit?

Being Danish I would guess Centigrade. I'd be surprised if they were still using Fahrenheit in 2010. (I'm surprised at all places that don't use Metric even to this day!)

I believe it's in Kelvin.

We need to talk about Kevin
One that stood the test of time, 1987-2023
Even useful upside down , as seen in 40448 : Vintage Car
Interesting fact , there was an earlier 1985 version, which had 6 studs on top instead of 2 , but that was not used after 1989 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4866
So, does that mean the windshield slopes downward at 36 degrees?
I know I have at least a couple of this part in my bins.

I suppose the slope angle is included in the name, to set it apart from https://brickset.com/parts/design-57783
Since both are Windscreen 3 x 4 x 1 1/3
Not a fan. Even as a rear window, those tabs stick out where they're not wanted.

Why are you trying to use it as a fan?
Having built many classic cars and tucks with the older version, it certainly took me some time to get used to new elements such as this.
British people won't get it.

Correct. It’s a windscreen :D

I thought there wouldn't be any regional exclusives? ;-)
This works well as the back window for station wagon-esque cars, with https://brickset.com/parts/design-57783 as the front window.
@PurpleDave "Not a fan"
I would suggest https://brickset.com/parts/461726/fabuland-propeller-f-aeropl or https://brickset.com/parts/604126/propeller-w-3-blades-%C3%B826-6 for that purpose...
@Ideenvulkan:
I don’t think they’ll survive granulating these for recycling, but if you send me a few, I can give it a try…

we don't talk about Kevin. not after... (thousand-yard stare intensifies) The Incident."
Right, but his body's just sort of been floating there since, and I keep hitting my head on it when I stand up. Can't we just say something, maybe get an exterminator?

Weird to see the version with just two studs released just two years later. Makes you wonder what they were even thinking with those 6 studs, feels like overkill for such a small part, and I don't think any of the sets it was used in needed them. I guess Lego thought the same...
