Default Where can I get new side windows for my '68?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find new side windows for my '68 vert. The ones in it have chips all along the top edge.

Thanks for your help!

Hey, Rick,
Zip has those. Part # GL-302, LH or RH, $319.95 each. Ouch.

Try ordering from a local glass shop. It will probably be cheaper and they might even do the install for a reasonable price. Just my $.02.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that the Zip glass is correct date-coded and proper L-O-F logo (or whatever should be on a '68 vert). That NCRS kind of stuff costs extra. A quick ebay search came up with some original '68 vert door glass for $100 each or thereabouts. But that would have some of the same wear-n-tear issues as the ones Rick is trying to replace. Decisions, decisions.... for me, I would tend to follow Vettfxr's advice. Fresh, new glass at a reasonable price... and I have long since punched the exit button on an NCRS pedigree for my car...

[edit] here's that ebay link:

There are two different styles of door glass for 68. Count the number of mounting holes on your car.

I was at your place Sunday for the CCC Car Show. I took home second place with the 72!
I went inside the shop and checked out your car. Looks like you've been busy. Keep up the good work.
