Window question

Is the sealing lip on the windshield and side windows of a Blazer (72) big enough to glue the glass on like modern cars? I'm thinking that if it were, slightly larger glass would be required, but would result in a smoother more 'flush' appearance. Anybody have their glass out that could post pix and measurements?

Re: Window question

Where would you get the glass? Also, there's no interior trim on the A pillar, so flush mounting the glass may not look too good on the inside. Just a thought !

Re: Window question

Local shop. Side windows wouldn't be so tough, but the windshield might be expensive. just wondering if it would work out. Good point about the trim.

Re: Window question

I’ll take that as a yes, for the windshield, at least.

Re: Window question

Yes, it's possible. But it's very expensive, and if you ever need to replace your windshield, you have to hope the company is still in business.
