Please add alternate number 35163 to part 6267. This number is molded on the
part.

 
Part No: 6267 Name: Windscreen 2 x 12 x 4
* 		6267 Windscreen 2 x 12 x 4
Parts: Windscreen

https://brickset.com/parts/design-6267

There appears to be a slight difference in design between the two. The part I
have in hand has cutouts on the interior edges of the base. I don't have
a 6267 handy, but the existing part image does not show the cutouts. This newer
version has been in place for quite some time according to Brickset, so I don't
if the admins would prefer to split the entries.

Thanks!
Jen

The biggest difference would be the material that the new part is made from.
The new one is made from MABS (basically clear ABS), and the older version was
made from PC (polycarbonate).

Since we can't do a direct comparison right now, adding the alternate item
number is pretty much all we can do so that the newer number can be found when
searched for.

I have also added this to the "Unsplit Part Variants" list:
