Chopping glass

I know nothing about it. How is it done on a (what's that term I'm looking for?) curved windshield? Basically, I want to narrow a Falcon windshield. Can you cut a center section out and glue(?) it back together, or would you have to turn it into a split windshield and install trim? Make sense?

Thanks,
Kurt

 

gday sg i have a split sceen in my 46 coupe ute and it was glued toogether with clear sillican and it dont leak is your gl*** toughend or lamminate if it is toughend you willhave toget it cut buy waterjet then use an abrasive pollisher on the cut edge toleave a bevelled edge

 

I ***ume by toughened you mean tempered, and I believe it is tempered.

 

if you have any problemspm me and i will ask mi mate he runs one of our biggest window mobs over here

 

Curved windshields are laminated. I'm guessing by your description you want to keep the outer curves? If so then yes, cut in 1/2 and bond the center. Some of the later model streetrod stuff, the split gl*** cars get 2 pcs and a bonding stip of some kind to eliminate the mldgs.

 

yes i think your name for toughend is temperd you cant cut it with a normal gl***cutter it just shatters but the waterjet cuts useing 60000 psi water and garnet sand just like a plasma
