Quarter glasses
 
Please do your self and your future body techs a favor...

Never let your glass guy or body tech (who ever installs your quarter glasses) install them with urethane glass sealer ! These are bolt in glasses and should only be installed using butyl tape kit... I recently had to have a glass man come out to remove a NOS set installed this way. It is VERY nerve racking watching to see if a $750 glass is going to break or not. This would never be a issue with butyl, which by the way is how they came from the factory...


Just my two cents for you guys with current or future projects...

Just had the quarter glass (yesterday) replaced with NOS ones on my 92 Michigan State Police SSP. Thankfully what you described is what was done with mine. The ones that were on the car were in pretty good shape, but they will now be restored and used as a backup set should need arise with one of my cars. As crazy as seemed to pay $500 for set of NOS ones when I bought them a few years ago, it amazes what they seem to list for now, and that price seems like a huge bargain :eek: .

Wasn't there a place that did the restoration of a set somewhere out of Texas? Like a racing shop?

Dugan Racing in GA used to do them. Not sure if they still do.

Yeah I should have bought up the whole warehouse...better than buying stock.

Very true!

I just bought a pair of NOS quarter windows (in the original boxes) from a local glass vendor, but they are both for the passenger side. Does anybody have an extra drivers side they would trade for one of my passenger sides? I will have them in my possession tomorrow morning. I bought these for back-ups for my 2 SSPs. Please PM me if you are interested in a trade.
