I second what Brent said and would go even further, recommending that for a custom cut like this, you take the whole car in and let them do the install. It will initially be more expensive but if they didn't get it quite right they will have to take care of it. Also, a local glass shop told me that they still have to special order the glass itself as they can't cut tempered or laminated glass in-house; I figure some shops can do that else who would cut down stock glass for rods with chopped tops.

Most glass shops can do your flat glass with no issues. You may want to pull the glass and frame and deliver to them to avoid any chance mishap with your old car / interior. They will reset the glass into the frame with the appropriate sealer and hand it back, ready
to install.

I've never replaced door glass on anything I've owned. The passenger door glass in my 56 Plym cracked this weekend.
What's options for a new one. Can glass shops cut this stuff if I get the old one out in one piece. Do I need to do this local or mail order…
Any experiences would be appreciated.
Still TBD exactly why the window cracked.
Thanks
Nick
