although I don't know why I ask, I'm way past the point where I would ever be motivated to put in flush glass, I'm just curious !
It's about 5/8" deep roof line to mounting lip. I measured new cars when they had the glass out and they are in the area of 5/8"-3/4". The glass is almost 1/4" thick so that leaves me with around 3/8" thickness of urethane to glue the glass in.
