29 ccpu side window glass

[nick c]

I just received my glass kit after 5 wks. The side glass at the 2 top corners has a radius of 3/8", my door has a radius of 1 3/4". The supplier does not know much about it, so he gave me the number for Vintage glass but they are closed till Monday. I bought a channel kit and it has a piece of flat sheet metal that goes across the top that fits the radius of 1 3/4". Help what should I do?
thanks nick c

Did they give you the right piece for the back window, they my have gave you the wrong year or model. Please let me know because I also have a 29 AA. Sorry mine didn't have any windows in it when I got it. Nick were you from?

I went out to the garage to look at my 29ccpu door glass,the radius at the top corners is about 3/8,the trim on the inside around the window has right angle corners at the top.I had my glass cut using the old plate glass as a pattern,I have no idea what that flat piece of metal would be for.

Is the 1 3/4" radius measured at the door frame as in the first picture?

The glass has a much smaller radius...maybe 3/8"...the glass slips up inside the door frame.....

The pattern SHOULD be according to the Ford published glass chart.



Note that the glass for the 28-29 CC pickup is the upper LH corner. There is an error on the chart mislabeling the Tudor glass (which on the upper LH they mean the Model T Tudor) which might confuse.

Note also that a radius for the upper corners of this glass is not specified except "round & polish." Other later glasses have "break corners" or specific radii. I think a radius here is not critical providing the corner isn't so sharp it "hangs up" on the hairs of the channel.

Thanks to all for the help.
Gunmetal front and back glass fit good, Miami and Ocala fl.
Cj5 first pic, yes.
My window channel kit came from mikes,A45983pu $60.00. as you can see from the pic, the sheet metal strip is 3/4" x 27 3/4" long with 3 holes for machine screws 8x 32. it fits the inside radius of door and ends up perfect on top of channel, then glue on molded rubber. Now I will have to bend the metal strip out straight and raise the felt channel 1" to meet the foam rubber.
thanks again, nick c

The glass guy I use asks people what they want for a radius.His measurements are,pencil eraser,dime,nickel,quarter,or a half dollar.Most can't seem to understand what the radius will look like if given in numbers,but everybody can picture the curves of a coin.
