53-56 windows

Are the windows on a 53-56 interchangeable from right to left? They seem to be fairly flat, can they be cut by the local glass and windshield folks? Or, should I bute the bullet and order from a vendor?

Thanks

53 - 55 are. Had mine cut by local shop, they had a pattern. They are an old shop, probably some of the chain stores don't have patterns. Joe

Yes they are interchangeable. I would get tempered windows from one of the reputable companies if I were you. I bought hand cut windows and they were not quite right and got a lot of wind noise.

Wink

Scott is right about tempered, that is what any reputable glass would sell you. If you can find a local shop with patterns, if the glass does not fit, you have someone to go to. Just my opinion.
