Cutting glass

[toey1977]

Ok so as some may know I have just got a ute the bad part is I need the glass for the doors one door is a empty shell the other has sedan glass in in anyway I ask the guys at a automotive glass place (windscreen removal replace and tint) anyway they told me they can't chop or grind the side windows cause it safety glass so I asked how do guys with chop tops do it he said they must get it custom made so I'm asking the people that have done a chop top did the get the glass cut or made?

I am Watching a door on ebay I was goining to buy cause I assumed it could ground down need help asap

the guy I deal with at work can get custom made glass done for me I'm just running a tight budget for example a slab for him if he could cut it lol

They are flat , shouldnt cost you any more than about $50 for a new piece - take the other one out and use it as a template, they are the same left and right, just the bracket on the bottom of it goes the other way around.

yeah but when i go for a rwc and the mechanic notices there are no safety glass symbols on the glass it will fail.

does anyone know whether they have tempered safety glass or laminated in the side windows. i am trying to research when tempered was first used in Australian cars as i found a site that says laminated up until 1970's but they may just be American i don't know

You can get them cut from safety glass. Just make sure the symbol is on each one. A guy at work had all his glass cut for his spinner for less than $300 a few years back. All stamped and legit safety glass.

I thought they were the same,lh/rh, the inspector would be doing well to check for window marks, we only had 1/2 hr to do the check as any longer we were losing money doing regos. Let me know how you go with the glass.

it's cheap as shit to get them made they could be cut from laminated (you can get this with the approval stamp) but it's not recomended for doors as it can crack from continual closing the door
when i did the 2 door i was quoted less than $100 a square meter (enough to do the 4 windows) for the heat treated glass then she said a bit extra for cutting and beveling (done before heat treating)
