Wind wing glass wanted
Broke one of mine. Measures 18”x7”. Anyone have glass? Figured I check before going to glass shop.

Re: Wind wing glass wanted
Jim, a matching glass may be difficult. You need to include the radius of the corners to match yours. Is it a rectangle? It may be cheaper to get a matching pair cut by the glass shop and keep your remaining one as a spare. That way you can have laminated glasses.

Re: Wind wing glass wanted
Thanks Allan. I figured someone might have a pair of glass they may want to sell. If not, I do have 1 good one a glass shop can template from. The broken one could also be a template as it is laminated. Not sure what a glass shop will charge but probably my only route. I do see them in catalogs for model A’s but they are shorter.Allan wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 7:28 pmJim, a matching glass may be difficult.
