Will a minute fraction of an inch less off the original glass width effect the seating of the glass in the windshield weatherstripping after installed on the truck? Is a little thinner glass better than thicker glass.

I had no problem getting new glass that was the same thickness as my original. There is enough give in the gasket that you can probably go either way a bit.

Careful! if the new glass is slightly larger and you are trying to put back in the stainless molding around the window frame, you may have a really hard time getting it back it. My glass was a little larger and I never got the rubber and molding back in. Will try to tackle it again next winter in the garage.
