Well working on this some more, my son came over and I took couple days off, back in March I ordered all new glass for this in Grey tinted and the company Auto city Auto glass did a $50 shipping to local Pate swap meet in May so we took all the old hardware off and swapped to new glass, found out I didn't get quarter glasses with it so called them and they shipped them out well
we added a set of power windows for this - at least 15 years ago so any way we watched some you tube videos about install and adjusting them had to wait for some odds and ends to show up I'm pretty happy but the quarter gasses are almost flat compared to side windows? seems odd anyway what y'all think?

still deciding if I like the blue trim on stainless it kind of matches

My factory glass quarters seem to match the side window better FWIW.

The aftermarket glass, like may aftermarket parts, is very hit-and-miss on fit. Many here have had to go through 4+ sets of glass to get one that fits.

I have contacted the supplier to see if they can provide a good solution - I sent them these pics, not expecting much though
first pics is curve of drivers door and second is quarter glass looks like 1/4" to 1/2"

over the holiday I got the LED taillight upgrade -DigiTails I had ordered and arrived so I did install and ready to be installed and wired in - have to say could have had better instructions the 6 harnesses that connect to the plugs in second pic - 3 had super long like 4' of wire and 3 that were like 18" dont know why so long and I found out the 10 special washered nuts were needed to mount the housings were needed so I went to hardware store as I thought were 1/4" thread, were nothing I could match so Heartbeat City here I come! frustrating as to ship these 10 approx 1/4" nuts shipping is $10 Grr happens when you buy a car disassembled at least it had all 10 of the studs
