Sam Buchanan Posted June 2, 2020 Report Posted June 2, 2020 I need to replace the cracked glass in the driver door. Anyone with a recommendation for a vendor? Front Door Glass P15 4-dr sedan Special Deluxe with flipper vent Thanks! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 2, 2020 Report Posted June 2, 2020 flat glass....if going stock safety...any glass cutter in your area with NAG access can do this quick and easily.....if going tempered....they can still handle it only it takes a bit of time as most ship to a place to be tempered, back to them and then on to you..... 1 Quote
RobertKB Posted June 2, 2020 Report Posted June 2, 2020 Maybe place ad in classified. Probably lots of members with a parts car that would have that window as original glass. Quote
grea235 Posted June 2, 2020 Report Posted June 2, 2020 I ordered a glass kit for my p22 from Bobs Classic Auto Glass. For mine they had clear or green tint. I got a kit because I took my drivers door window to a local shop thinking that I would support local businesses and they wanted 260 for two door windows, safety glass. The kit was 425, so it was more cost effective. The glass I received looks good and matches the originals so far. They may do individual pieces. Andy Bernbaum lists individual glass, but I passed on it because the kit was cheaper. Quote
Sam Buchanan Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Yep, I was planning on supporting the only glass shop I could find within 25 miles of me that would cut laminated glass until I was quoted $175 for the one window and told the corners might not match my original. I ordered the glass from Sanders Reproduction Glass and even though it has to be shipped all the way across the continent total cost is $76. Hope it fits....and that I don't break it....

Appreciate the referral but no locations in my state. Their price is the same as what I'm paying with the other vendor....$75 seems to be the going rate for flat door glass delivered from well-equipped vendors. Bernbaum has similar catalog price but adds large shipping fees and long delivery time. Edited June 2, 2020 by Sam Buchanan Quote

MarcDeSoto Posted June 3, 2020 Report Posted June 3, 2020 All of this glass is readily available on Ebay for $50 for the driver glass. I had to replace the glass for the driver door on my 48 DeSoto, so I first went to a local glass shop and they said they needed an original to copy, and it would be about $250! So I looked on Ebay and they had one for just $45! It's now gone up to $50. I bought it and it was a perfect fit. I don't see a front door glass right now on Ebay, just rear glass and other panels, and a complete kit. But they probably haven't updated their Ebay ads in a while. So I would email them and say you just want the driver door glass and the vent window. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1941-1948-PLYMOUTH-4-DOOR-SEDAN-FLAT-GLASS-KIT-CLASSIC-AUTO-VINTAGE-NEW/254191810623?fits=Year%3A1948|Make%3APlymouth&hash=item3b2f03383f:g:Vx0AAOSwaNRcqd4Z 1 Quote

I don't need the vent glass. These internet vendors seem to know what their compadres are charging.....seems ~$75-80 is the going rate for a door glass by the time it lands on your doorstep.

I left the "S" off the actual NAGS is National Auto Glass Specifications....my error....apologize for that.....I was told by my retailer for the kit I placed in the 48 BZ CP that the glass would be machine cut per NAGS data and then fired/tempered for all the glass except the windshield which is still safety glass.... 1 Quote
