hi wally
you could alway get new glass cut, try any of the big glass mobs obrians in bribane would cut glass for my safaries when i said it was for a
caravan.
as they would not cut glass less than the current adr standed for windscreens but side windows should't be a prob.
ended up getting my safaries glass from roy instead.

The old glass CANNOT be polished or buffed.
You have to get new glass cut to size

he can get the glass from pilkintons in melb (they do the windows for ford)

by next friday. just goes to show if you dont ask you wont know.
