I removed all the glass out of my 1950 3100 today...no real issues to speak of until I pried on the chrome trim and cought the edge of the glass causing a crack
Should the glass be replaced? It feels smooth to the touch on both sides.

If the windshield, then yes. The crack will grow, wait and see. A cracked windshield is a ticket in some places.

Looks like it is starting to de-laminate anyway. I'd get new glass.

New one it is then!

Anyone know if they are available at Automotive glass shops or just Classic parts vendors?

It is flat glass. Round here anyway the glass shop just cuts it for you. Take the cracked one for a pattern.

Classic parts was half the price of my local glass shop.

There was another recent post with similar information on glass pricing.
