Thanks Wayne .... never been this far with body work, I think I have the hang of it now!
Thanks! That's a good question, summary: the back glass is the only one that survived tear down. The OEM glass is thicker by 0.015, the AMD glass is shorter by 3/16, width is same ... BUT the curvature doesn't quite match up (left to right or top to bottom), AMD GLASS IS FLATTER... let me show you (GM glass is on top).
AMD glass!
GM glass.
That's the outside edge measurement!
This is the middle of the lower glass!
Clamped the bottom edge to see the difference in the top!
And there you have it ...
My opinion ... fits the opening ok, wished it were closer to GM specs! No one will be able to see the differences on the car. I don't have the front to have a metric against, it is 0.250 thick and seems to follow the roof line and the upper dash pretty close .... anyone else used AMD glass?
Is there a glass that matches GM OEM glass?
Thanks for asking ... hope this helps someone else too!
