This way by the time you are ready to use them you forgot where you put them.

Standing is advised as it is safer for the glass to pick it up and handle in a vertical position. the edges need to be protected from chips, ect, repeat, the edges need to be protected. But glass is stronger than you would believe.

I did have a passenger side door glass for a 77 Honda Accord, dragged it around for about 10 years and it never got broken... even stored under my bench... eventually threw it into the trash, unbroken.
Another quality post.

I have a hood hanging there for over 5 years now. That space does't seem good for anything else anyway.
I think they make a storage system for that space I have my hood hanging on nylon tie down straps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 | I wrapped mine and put behind storage cabnet . | | |
