Is just one source of said safety glass. You can also try local glass shops as well. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Last edited by AlexLohmann1; 09-19-2019 at 12:42 PM. |

Re: Broken gless
You didn't mention the body style . On most if not all have a plate on the inside top of the door frame that attaches with three slot head screws . The glass is installed or replaced through the top of the door . Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the regulator to get the roller in the track on the bottom of the window .

Re: Broken gless
Usually adjusting the striker plate too tight in an attempt to adjust a loose rattling door will cause the door to not stay fully closed .

Re: Broken gless
Through the years I have owned several Model "A"s. After the third friend broke yet another door glass I learned to open the door and close the door for them. For whatever reason people think they need to slam the bejesus out of either an old car door or a truck door. That is the primary reason I stopped loaning out my pick up truck. I tell folks to rent one.

Re: Broken gless
I don't like for my doors to be slammed . It is best to never slam the door with the window part way up or down or it can result in a broken window . I have broken two oir three windows over the years myself .

Re: Broken gless
I went to my local auto glass shop, they took care of me and it did not cost an arm and a leg, and I didn't have to wait or pay for shipping.

Re: Broken gless
Just purchased a passenger side glass for my Tudor locally for $47.00 installation was pretty easy. As a side note today I installed all the new door hardware and concluded it’s best to turn handle close/open door then release handle instead of slamming the door
