I know that there has been threads on this before but I can't seem to find it in the search file. Does anyone have the correct glass sizes for a 31 five window coupe? I have made patterns for the 1/4 ( no brainer there ) windows but would like some help with the rest. Thanks for any help.

Windshield: 14 x 42
Door: 16 x 26
Quarter: 12 x 14
Rear Window: 10 x 32

:) wink :grin:

like you said there has been a long discussion on glass in the past . if you want it to fit make patterns specially the windshield and door glass not all openings created equal . the body book says to grind if it does not fit and you do not want to do that if possible

Thanks Skip for the numbers. Are all the pieces square cut except for the quarter windows? I agree with you Pushrod, I do not want to be grinding on new windows. Thanks again.

no the windows are not square . the door windows are arched or curved on top they need to fit the felt on the top snugg. the windshield is curved on the bottom and needs to fit the seal on the bottom real close or it will leak

I guess I will have to make a pattern and scribe it to fit properly. Thanks you guys for all the help.

Sal, if you still need window patterns, I have the old glass out of my 31 sport coupe and could make you paper copies. email me.
