Glue-on Rear Window! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I stumbled upon this about a year ago and just rediscovered it, so thought I'd share. Not sure if anyone else has posted this before. I think it's pretty cool, but I like my window trim too.

Does anyone here have this already...any feedback???

I like the looks of their flush fit rear glass. It would really compliment their one piece door windows. However, the door windows have not been well received from what I've read. That's too bad, because I like how they look.

My recent searches have only found older installs. I'd like to hear from people who have done some recent installs of this rear window as well as the OP side windows.

One of the reasons I like these old trucks is the wing windows. JMO. Don't get me wrong,I love adding the newer technology to them but I just love the way they look!

I totally agree with you. I read the same thing about their window kit. It would be interesting to see a windshield set up from them.

So...no one has any experience with this company or this product that they'd like to share?

If no one has any experience with this, I guess this thread is dead. Kabaam

I installed the one piece door windows in my 68 and love them, the only issue I had was the way the window scrapers attach to the doors. They are glued on with weather-strip adhesive. not a big deal but the way the door indents for the wing window makes it uneven. Overall they are good. I plan on doing the flush mount back glass soon.

Hey Gofast, Did you ever complete the flush mount back glass installation? If so, do you have any pictures, and are you happy with it?

I love them because they're functional. Even on a truck that spends most of its time with the top off and the windows down.

I'm keeping my vent windows as well. This is not the question I'm asking here. I'm inquiring about the installation of the flush mount rear window.

Just make a cardboard pattern and have your local auto glass company cut you a new rear window and set it in using urathane , easy peasy ! You'll have to come up with a way to finish out the inside window flange so it looks finished but that too should be easy peasy ! It's just a piece of flat glass = cheap
