new glass was installed today
« on: April 10, 2006 - 08:57:34 PM »
After some deliberation I decided to go with new glass on my Cuda. The original glass was in good shape and all but the lower corners had started to cloud and I couldn't see putting it back in like that.

The new PPG tinted glass sure is slick. The guy did a test fit, then checked deck height of the glass to ensure proper mating of the trim. Next he used a special primer on all the landing areas and then shot a 3/4"tall V-shaped bead on the landing. He cut the two spacers in the lower channel and carefully laid the glass in place. The trim fits nice and snug and I am a happy camper.   :bananasmi :cooldancing::bananasmi

Yes, it came out very good. Am debating on putting a tiny bead of silicone under the top-most lip of the lower strap trim just to make sure the edge stays nested snugly against the glass. what do you think?
