New glass?
Has anybody had new glass made for their bug? I have a 65 bug project and all the glass I am getting is crap frankly. I was thinking maybe O'Briens
or someobdy would make me some if I provided the original as a template?
regards

any glazier can cut laminated glass to a template, make sure you get the edges polished though and I'd get more than one quote, Obriens are usualy
prety expensive.
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Yes, o'briens can cut it for You
one of the locals had tinted door glass cut out from there..
I just tinted all Mine...
if You look around, there is sure to be some used glass in good condition... especially rear and side glass..
door glass and 1/4 windows are usually scratched after 40++ years....
My Son had oval windscreens cut out from o'briens too....
all laminated...
just remember that laminated door glass doesn't shatter like the original safety glass... if its broken...
cheers
