I've tried all the usual suspects but can't bring myself to spend the $80 a piece that they are asking for the little split rear windows.
I have a great glass connection, so if anyone wants a new piece of glass send me a template and I can get it cut for a very reasonable price. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | the problem with them is likely they're not just flat glass, the TF series panel doors are crowned, curve both ways, if your year repros are $80 that's prolly why, no local connection can crown them for you
if flat glass will do, make your own "template" from the opening - I just dropped off a cardboard template to have an odd teardrop shaped glass cut for my bus, just have to allow correct clearance for the size rubber used, piecea cake for any good auto glass shop

If anyone knows it would be some good info to share.

Let me know if you still need it and I will mail it to you. Just tell me where. Thanks, Gary | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 13 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 13 | Gary, I've attempted to respond with my address in a private post twice, but somehow they haven't seemed to get to you. I'd really appreciate the template of the glass you have. Please email me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you with my address. I will pay you for any postage incurred. Regards, Emile | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 13 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 13 | I want to publicly thank Gary Copeland for the template that he was kind enough to send.
The glass shop that cut the glass for me has a surplus supply of flat automotive glass and I can get glass cut at half the price of any other vendors. All the tinted styles are available as well.
I'll post a pic of the glass in my panel. I got smoke tinted, it looks great!
Thanks again, Gary.
Regards, Emiliano | | |
