I have heard the aftermarket glass is different.

So, it is thicker than the OEM?

Also, are you looking for 68-72 glass (the one with the hole for the locking lever)?

67 doesn't have a hole in the glass.

They do have different thicknesses of setting tape.

I can understand wanting to use the OEM at this point.

GMCPaul's also has setting tape.

I have the tape, and thickness isn't the issue, the glass is bigger than the original glass I removed from the frames by an 1/8 inch.
So who sell correct size new glass then?

I thought that might have been what you were referring to.

I have never heard of that.

It's normally the thickness issue.

Maybe someone knows of a Good vendor or has OEM good glass for you.

I will look through my stash of doors for what I have.

If still in need or looking, we have had the below pictured GM NOS 68-72 clear vent wing glass set stashed away a long time for that deserving build, the pair is pulled out and ready to pack/ship. ***Edit 02/18/24*** We just listed this NOS vent wing glass in the below linked parts board f/s thread.
