Hi all - well I have this little glass problem. I had ordered all the glass for the 53 GMC 3 ton, being under the assumption that the cabs are all the same. The wing and door glass went in fine. Couldn't get the back or windshield to go in. After closer examination original glass was far different than the new stuff. Kind of the right shape but not really and much bigger in some spots. Broke 1 side of the windshield trying to get it in and then decided to call company about it. They asked me to send the pieces back and to make a template of my original glass and send it along with it so they could check it out and send out new pieces. Well I spoke with them yesterday and was told that the pcs. I returned were correct for that year, or at least the template they have for that year, so the problem was on my end. It seems that the templates of the originals were not close to what they have??? Something must have happened to the cab he says. But we took the paint down to metal and there were no visible signs of any kind of damage repair. Ok, he then says that he has seen 1 or 2 instances where it was the manufacturing of the cab to blame??? Bad day at the welder? Lovely. I was hoping that we wouldnt have to go the custom route, but I suppose thats the only option. Found a place here locally that comes out and does glass for tractors and such on the jobsite. Said they will take a look at them and it should be no problem. Keeping my fingers crossed. Anyone else ever had this happen?
