Where to find one piece glass ??

Post by Macdave06 »

I thought I remembered seeing a one piece door glass kit for our trucks but I cant seem to find it again. Anybody know where I can find one?

There's a guy talking about this subject on FTE. He said you could not do it because of the hinge system. Look for the one titled "Suicide Doors"

Shawns Fords here on the site was doing a one peice door glass in his slick. The glass is available through Bob's F100 in California. PM Shawn and he will let you know some of the problems he came up with and what he had to do. He also has pictures.

So he got it to work with stock hinges?
I may do suicide doors anyways but in case I decide against that...

He had to do some changes to the hinge area, cut away some of the metal. Here are some links to the discussion elsewhere on our forum.
