I replaced mine in a '29 Coupe, all of the interior material and panels had been removed, so the process was a bit easier. I was also prepping the window garnish mouldings to refinish. If you can salvage the original glass, you have good patterns to take to a glass shop for patterns.
Glass setting material was easy to work with, patience is key, try to keep any seams (joining ends) top center. I used binder clips around the corners of the rear glass to retain shape and keep wrinkles to a minimum. When replacing garnish pieces, tighten the screws evenly around the frame, it's easy to over tighten and stress crack the glass.
Good time to check body wood if not done before. Good luck..kb
I'm sure others will add comment also.. we learn as we do.!
