Window Glass

Post by willy12844 »

I have a 65 slick and somewhere in it's life some one put bucket seats in it. I now have a stock bench seat in it. I'm wondering if there is anything I can use to rub mild scratches out of the glass where the head restraints rubbed against it?

I think in the past some glass shops had a way of polishing out minor scratches, but i think it would be just as easy to try to find a used glass , their not that dificult to remove and install, maybe just as cheap as tring to polish the old one.

Eastwood has a Glass polish that works pretty well. But I agree with Lowell if it is just a flat Glass $10 Bucks can usually buy a good used one...

Put a new rubber gasket in at the same time they are inexpensive too. Take the glass to a glass shop and have them cut you one that is tinted, Looks cool and reduces inside temps too.

A lot of glass shops use cleanser to polish out light scratches in glass. Just spray a little water on the glass, put some cleanser on a damp paper towel and buff away. Powdered cleanser, yes the same stuff Brian poured into his carburator to polish the rings and cylinder walls. :shock:
