I know not possible right, well we did and when i got to work one day this weekn ill take pictures. we got the idea from watching to many movies. so we decided to tape the the living hell out of both sides of that glass drew a cut line and started running down it with a air cut off wheel, but we had to go xtremely slow and keep moving so no one part heated up. alright bring on that not possible comments, o well the minitrucker who says it isn't possible is being passed by the one that did it. All else fails lexan, sucks that itll scartch over time, but it keeps a roof on the truck, and ull have a crazy chopped mazda. GOOD LUCK
as soon as you hit it with the hard surface of that wheel, especially on the edge, its toast.. you can have tempered cut, if the shop knows how to cut it.. it IS possible, but a lot of glass shops dont know how. Take your tempered and go get some laminated cut to the size you need.. if it needs to have a bow, you're looking at custom glass.. bend over.

I did commercial glass for awhile.. if it was 'easy' when we had pieces that were too big, even by an 1/8th, the owner of the shop wouldnt of thrown it out and ordered a new piece.. he would of saved that money.. TRUST ME

When Miles did the template, he walked around with a template of his rodeo window and then with a bunch of paper and make templates of other windows that he thought would work and matched them up to the best of the ability.
And with the windshield for the rodeo it took the people who cut it 4 windshields to get one right and they are pros, they said it had to due with the amount taken off and the temperature that it would get to when they were cutting it that it would start to crack.

Didnt miles go convertible????? The same guy that did Miles front window cut mine too. I called everybody and thier momma about getting side windows for mine. Made the stock glass work on the sides and the rear is going to be laminated or regular glass and have it tempered(Back glass is alsmost flat). But if you can cut tempered, Im changing my A pillar and glass to avoid the pie cut.
