Re: Windows
When you go to the glass shop make sure they know that the Coupe windows are not square!
If they know what they are doing they will use your window as a pattern. Don’t assume that they do. Of course they probably will but don’t forget that they may not know about the window. Some don’t!!

Re: Windows
Also check the thickness of the new glass. Not all glass shops carry safety glass in same thickness as original glass. Different replacement glass thickness will require different windshield bedding hardware and different sliding channel configuration for 'moveable' glass. just FYI, jb

Re: Windows
Having trouble finding a glass shop in the Denver area that wants to play with auto glass. Does anyone know of a shop that will accomodate?

Re: Windows
There may be a classic car or old car restoration shop that does rebuilds in your area. Check to see if there is one close to you. They have their glass cut or installed somewhere or do it themselves. They may be of help.

Here are the glass dimensions in case the glass shop can't or won't use your old glass for patterns.

Re: Windows
Not sure how it works in the US, here in New Zealand a local general glazier made the screens up then sent them out to be hardened, they came back with 'safety glass' markings and all ready to go.
General glaziers do safety glass regularly for architectural features, houses, fences etc so this is not unusual work for them and they are used to working off templates/ patterns.
Safety glass can only be cut before it is hardened, else it shatters.....

Re: Windows
I believe that in modern cars the side windows are tempered glass but the windshields are laminated safety glass. I just replaced the glass in my 1930 Plymouth with laminated safety glass all around. It was hard to find someone who will work with that stuff these days but they are out there.
