    no one has any clue?
     
  3. flat side gl*** = any gl*** shop; front and rear gl*** = really good gl*** shop, salvage yard, buy a parts car. Seals, I'm sure someone makes repro stuff, check in Hemmings Motor News or maybe on eBay. And uh, you could wait more than 27 minutes before wondering why no one's answered.

    sorry i was being impatient. I got it at the shop right now and the owner called me back and said "we can't do your gl***, the gl*** guy we use doens't have those patterns or seals"
     
  5. don't you have the old original gl*** to use as patterns?

    actually i believe i do.

    he says that the window "guy" cannot cut the cl*** for me because the windows are curved. He says I will need to find someone that specializes in cutting windows for cl***ic cars since they are curved.

  7. Any gl*** "guy" worth a damn can cut a curved line in laminated gl***. This would apply to all of your side gl***.

    No gl*** "guy" can create the front/rear gl*** from what a gl*** shop has lying around. I would try Steele for any seals you need. They have everything, and have for years.

    The front/rear gl*** will likely take some searching to find...

    I have the rear and front gl*** in there and it's fine. I just need the side windows.

    WTF? Is this a window channel? Tried to look at your picture and get a web hosting company, totally annoying.
