Side glass question
I have a double wall top with tinted glass, and a single wall top that I’d like to put the glass from the double wall top in. Is there a difference?

Re: Side glass question
Yes. Single wall glass is thinner. The ODs are the same and you can squeeze 2x wall glass into a single wall gasket w just a little bit of resultant wrinkle in a corner or two. You might have luck getting a glass shop to cut correct thickness glass using the 2x wall glass as a template.

If you go this route, tell them not to etch "tempered" into the glass. I had a full set of glass made years ago for a custom car, and they etched "tempered" right in the middle. Needless to say they had to redo the complete job. |

Laminated plate glass is a legal alternative. The advantage is that your local glass shop should be able to cut it and it's usually a little less expensive than tempered glass. It can also be trimmed if necessary; once glass is tempered, you're stuck with what you've got. You can get either laminated plate or tempered in either clear or a variety of tints. |
