Re: Pattern for big back glass?

I pulled 2 different back windows from two different cabs and they were not the same. I don't think it's one size fits all. After I did the conversion o took both pieces in but he just made a template to the opening and cut one. He didn't use the old glass at all.

Be sure you use only tempered glass for back; else, it won't fit, as the rubber gasket does not allow for the laminated, thick stuff. I learned the hard way. And check around with several glass guys--they really aren't expensive, parts, labor, gasket, and all. Google just may be your friend--"Safelite", maybe? I bo't 1st 1 from LMC; laminated & not nearly would it go. Contacted them; they contacted their supplier; told my to "toss it", and gave me full credit.
