Are you aware that new pre-cut window glass (tinted and non-tinted) is available from many sources?

Ok, my apologies. Didn't know that. Would be a big help to update your profile to show your location or whereabouts.

For my 52 I bought mine from Vintage Glass (Ball's Rod and custom).
My glass company tried to install them and the front & rear were too big.
Edges were not smooth and some of the glass did not follow the contour of the old glass.

Do you have the remnants of your old window that they could copy? I took my two cracked door windows to Safelite to make new ones.

If window is out of truck lay it on top of brown paper and trace with marker.
You can mail the paper and give whole thing to glass place. Let them cut it out.

coupman35 05-17-2016 09:20 PM

I wish i had the window but i dont

Mixer man 05-18-2016 12:35 AM

Just have your glass shop come out and make their own pattern, then cut and install the glass. Or you install it.
