Correct side window replacement glass
«

Hello: I have been searching for correct side window replacement glass for a while with no luck. My original windows have a radius at the upper back corner, approx 1". All GM coupes that I've seen also have this radius. I guess it to protect thte weather strip from tearing when the wingow rolls up. All the suppliers I've talked to say they supply glass for concourse restorations and haven't gotten any complaints but the corner is square
. I can't understand this, somebody must of complained. Are correct windows available? What do the concorse restorers use? Maybe Jerry MacNeish can help, I hope. Thank you in advance for your input.

My '69 has all of its original glass, and the rear upper corner of the side window glass has about a 1/4" radius on one side, and about 1/4"-3/8" radius on the other side. Don't know how you'd ever seal that corner if the glass had a 1" radius.

I used Pilkington and my car with zero problems and had the date codes etched using my original glass etchings as a template.

Jonsey: I called Pilkington and they said the corner was square not radiused. Were your windows square cornered or radiused? I would just like to put something back in that matches what I took out.
