Re: small back window glass
It is not flat like older trucks, so if you were going to have one cut I don't think it would work.

Re: small back window glass
Mine is out and measures at exactly .25", however, as stated, the glass is not flat, but rather domed.
Cheers, Jim |

Re: small back window glass
But laminated glass does flex some. I know I have put flat glass in a 56 I chopped years ago, not a problem.

Re: small back window glass
I think the key word here is "domed". It is curved in both directions which would be hard to achieve with a flat piece of plexiglass.

Re: small back window glass
The rubber gasket will flex some, and glass can flex some, but when the glass is flexed it has stress and will brake easy.
