Default Re: I need quick help Please, Factory glass dimensions

I went with the this company because I found some positive comments and they do the side glass in tempered. The local guys would only work with laminated side glass for a lot more money.

Plus they were cock sure they had all the flat glass patterns in a computer controlled cutter. So what could go wrong?

I should add my initial letter as it included dimensions. For computer cut glass I expected the side dimensions to be exactly the same.

Hello,


I got my glass today and I am very disappointed.



The side glass is not for my car at all! I have attached pictures of the glass you shipped and the door window frames for my car. The shape and size are clearly not for my car, for that matter I am sure they are not 28-31 Ford.



The windshield glass is also improperly sized. I put the glass I took out of an original frame (no it was not original Ford glass) on top of the glass you shipped and noticed it felt about 1/4 narrower.



The old glass measures 43 9/16 top, 42 3/4 bottom, 12 7/16 side, 12 1/2 side.



Your glass measures 43 3/8 top, 42 7/16 bottom, 12 3/8 side, 12 7/16 side.



Your glass has about 1/16" overlap on each side of the factory windshield frame at the base. That is not enough overlap to install the glass and have it stay.



I have 3 pieces of glass I can not use for my car. What do we do?



Thanks
