    It's flat gl***, any auto gl*** place can cut one for you. If they don't have a pattern use the gl*** from the other side for a pattern. Not very expensive either.

    A bit much is an understatement....Gl*** shop around here would get about 25.00 each

    That's the problem with the autogl*** industry..somebody will do it cheaper than the other guy. If a guy wants to stay in business, he has to charge more. $120.00 would be a going rate considering: cutting the pattern out of a stock piece of laminated gl***, grinding the sharp edges down with a water injected sanding belt (machine), progressively changing to lesser grit belts and finally polishing the edges with a belt made by cork. This is the way I used to do it, and its good quality.
    I wouldn't do it for $25.00, not even worth it, time and effort.
