1952-59 Ford 59 windshield heights?

I just bought a 59 Ranchero,, and wonder IF anyone knows (for sure!) IF a 59 Skyliner & Sunliner winshield IS about 1½" lower that all the other 59 cars (not T-bird) I ´ve got this "plan" since all the gl*** needs to be replaced ,, why not make a modest chop while I´m at it and use the Skyliner& Sunliner winshield IF they actually are lower ?,, all the other gl*** are flat and will be made new by my gl***guy. Anyone who has done this?? Chopped a 59 Ranchero that is. Any input is welcome !!

 

you might find this an interesting read , I realize it's '57 and yours is '59 but still a worthwhile read I'm sure .

Yes very interesting to read,, thanks !! So is anyone a 59 Skyliner or Sunliner owner on here ,, I´d appresiate a mesurement on windshield height on such car. OR if someone have any kind of "windshield gl*** crossreference book" ,, to see if all the Ford (+Edsel) cars used same front gl*** in 1959 ? (exept T-Bird + trucks)

I´m set to order a new winshield soon ,, and thought I´d ask one more time here before I order a stock Ranchero one. 1001 thanks in advance!

 

I have a '59 Sunliner. I currently have the chrome trim off the windshield right now so it would be a good time to get a few measurements. Probably couldn't make it happen until Friday night though.

 

Thank YOU!! Just a simpel measurement of "gl*** opening" inside rubber to rubber at wiper would be great.

I just took a measure,, windshield of my Ranchero is 20" inside of the rubber edge,, straight up at wiper.

 

Pretty much that entire front stretch of windshield measures 18 and 3/4s inside of the rubber edge.

 

THANKS A LOT Sir !! Now I know for a fact that the convertibles have a lower frontgl***,, Thats what I´ll order,, Thanks again!!
