Side Glass Thickness
I ordered new Wing Window and Side Window Glass from LMC Truck for My Son's 67 F100... In the process of Installing it We realized that the new Glass does not fit the Wing Window Frame. I looked at the Old versus the Ne and notices the thickness was different. I measured the old at .194" and the new at .231" - well over 1/32" difference... Anyone else run into this problem? If I can get the Wing Window Glass to Work will the Side Windows still roll up and down? We replaced the Window Rubber/Felt already and so it is already tight rolling up n down... Thinking We may need to just go have Custom Glass Made or try cleaning up the old stuff to look good again... Suggestions???

Just return it all and check with other vendors, LMC is known for having cheaper prices.
And most everyone finds out you get what you paid for with LMC.
It seems most all their rubber products fail with in a few yrs. From the UV or ozone drying them out and causing it to crack, made as cheaply as they can. LMC.
I and many other have found out the hard way after buying and installing their products
Not many items, I'd buy from them any more.
