Help With Winshield Glass

[ROCKAWAYJOHNNY]

Thank you for the help...

I used a caliper to measure the difference between the thickness in the old glass and the new glass that i had made. As I thought, the difference is less than a 32nd of an inch. I brought the glass back to the shop that made it. They didn't want to hear what I had to say. I showed them the original glass - from which they measured and used as a template for the new glass - and the difference in thickness and they still basically told me to beat it. So, before I go to a more reputable shop and buy new once again, I decided that I am going to measure how deep the edges of the glass sit in the framing. Then I transfer those dimensions onto the new "oversized" glass. I will use straight edges clamped to the edges and I will sand the edges down to the correct size.

sounds like a lot of work but I paid $435 for the two panels. i might as well try before I toss them out.

Any thoughts?
