FAQs about Products | Sanders Repro Glass

What are your quality standards?

Hai N — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:13:09 +0000

All glass contains various types of flaws or blemishes, which may be visible to the naked eye. This is unavoidable – even the finest raw materials contain minor flaws. The federal government mandates that no defects should be visible in the glass when it is viewed horizontally or vertically from 11 feet away under normal lighting. All of our glass meets these standards.

Do you stock any NOS windows?

Hai N — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:12:34 +0000

Definitely not! N.O.S. (New Old Stock) parts are mostly quality rejects from the assembly line or ill fitting parts that have been gathering dust (sometimes for decades) on a dealer’s parts shelf. If you find a N.O.S. window, chances are it won’t fit!

What is black edging?

Hai N — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:12:08 +0000

Black edging is primarily used for restoration projects. A black edge is actually in reference to a sealant used prior to 1941 to seal the edges of a window from contamination. It’s not necessary today, but we offer it for cosmetic reasons. It adds a level of authenticity to a restoration that is sometimes required in competitions. As far as we know, we are the only company in the US that offers black edging.

Can you produce custom curved glass?

Hai N — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:11:34 +0000

If the car is newer than 1965 and the car has been modified, Then we cant make custom curved glass. Modern cars have curved or bent glass (from about 1965 on) and we don’t yet have the technology to manufacture custom bent glass.

Do you cut glass for power windows?

Hai N — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:11:18 +0000

Yes! Power window kits usually require additional glass at the bottom to attach to. Unless the top has been chopped, all we need from you is how much to add to the bottom of the window. Otherwise, a stock pattern will work just fine.

Do you cut glass for custom chopped tops?

Hai N — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:11:04 +0000

Yes! However, you’ll need to make a pattern for us to use. Since everyone has a different approach to the process, it’s impossible to have a standard pattern for chopped tops. We encourage you to make a working template out of 1/4 inch tempered hardboard, masonite or cardboard and send it or a tracing of it to us.

What if you don’t have a pattern for my car?

Hai N — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:10:34 +0000

We can either show you how to make a pattern from the existing glass or you can send us the window frame and we can make the glass to fit it. Sometimes we ask you to trace the frame, scan it and email it to us as an image file. We have the capability to convert those images to the vector format used by our computer controlled cutting machine.
