Seeing I have a cracked lower corner on my side window I thought I's make a pattern and get a local glass shop to cut me out a couple new windows... you know keep it local and all that.
On line they're 30 apiece incl. shipping more or less. No frame just the glass.

One local shop say's 60 bucks apiece and the cheap one says $45 ea.

So much for supporting the local guys... ohwell

You should install new seals or the excess travel may break the new glass, maybe why the old one broke.

There have been experiences here on Stovebolt where replacement windows purchased from an aftermarketer don't quite fit. At least with your local shops any adjustments will be easy to make.

Its just glass, if its to big the local shop is just gonna do what I'll do, put the sander to it and grind it down a bit more.
I guess I'm just an old school CASO
