The Ford Barn

I bought some new glass from Vintage Glass for my slant window cabriolet.

The glass they sent was not right the windshield is about 1/4" shorter leaving only about 1/16" overlap on each side.

The side glass is just not close and does not look to fit any cabriolet.

Here is their reply:

OE NAG #’s cut were correct ,,, maybe you don’t own a 31 Ford ?

FORD OE BOOK:
w/s was 552 for ALL ’31 models w/ slanting w/s
and doors were 403 for ALL ’31 Cabriolets.

Being that the correct Ford OE part #’s were cut the only thing
left to do is send us patterns in which we can scan and compare
to other glass sizes of and around that year to determine more.

So could someone please point me to the factory dimensions the door window glass and the windshield. The only thing I have located quickly was the early dimensions in the service bulletins. I thought there was a better resource some wheres else.

Thanks.
