I need a rear door window glass for a 1940 fordoor. Who are the suppliers of this? Thanks!

Mac's sells it for $80.00 here: http://macsautoparts.com/early-v8-window-glass-piece-rear-door-window-passenger-cars-only-vgrd/camid/F30/cp/JS0R3CHL1077071/ Personally, I had all of my flat window glass cut at the local glass shop for a whole lot less than the above supplier. Of course, if you want the genuine seal on the glass, you'll pay a whole lot more. Still Old Henry This message was edited by Old Henry on 10-22-10 @ 8:21 PM

I had mine cut locally as well. Ordered the etching kit from Roy Naz. I like to etch my own glass so I can get the etch exactly were I want it. If you don't want to mess with any of that, Saunders Glass sells the correct edge glass already etched.

If you are going for a Dearborn, order from Sanders. If you have a driver, buy locally. Look for glass suppliers for business customers as it will be less expensive that an automotive glass supplier. I paid $28 for a door glass 3 years ago. An auto glass supplier wanted $50. Tom

I agree with 40GUY. The etching kits from Nacewicz are very easy to use. Sanders does sell nice patterned glass but the last piece I got from them for a '35 coupe was too thin. It was in fact a nominal 1/4" but was actual .221". That may not sound like a lot, but to get a proper seal, the glass needs to be closer to an actual 1/4" like the authentic stuff was. Authentic glass was .247 - .260.

This is good information. I will check with local shops first. I have the old window for a pattern. Thanks!

Shouldn't be a problem. Don't forget the setting tape. They usually have that too.
