Well, it is for sale…. I think they wanted $175k or something crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well Chucky, Please accept my apology as well for continuing to annoy you with my apology! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah…. I would love to see $80 steps like that…. All I found were expensive as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FYSA, Finally got a quote in today for a turnkey job. $640 and they come to me. ($70 for trip charge, 2 guys since the window is 9’+ in the air) I need to look at what the material costs, because I think I can do the labor part myself. Will update once I finalize material cost and take...

The 50 amp circuit is like a dryer plug. There are two legs of 120v usually referred to as L1 and L2, a neutral, and an earth ground. L1 and L2 are 180 degrees out of phase so when one leg is at a peak, the other leg is at a valley. If you measure voltage between the Legs and your neutral, you...

I will check. I just cut my window opening. I am leaning towards gluing a flat plate laminated glass on myself. I think it will turn out ok. Anyone know if if window glass adhesive will stick to Behr Marquee paint? For curious minds…. Just have to wait until I post pictures when done...

Looks like Chris dies in 2017….maybe the company will still supply the keys though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought of doing that, but that would be very expensive. Also, usually synthetic line does not use roller fare leads, not sure why. You could also buy a smaller synthetic line at the same strength and get a much longer line…. But that is also expensive. If you do pull the trigger…. Please...

One of the rollers has a removable pin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah…. I am not done trying. That was just the 6-7 shops I had time to call. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went to Binswanger first. They said they would make me whatever glass I wanted but would not install it. I tried several shops and asked each person when they said no…. “Who should I call?”…. They all gave me a name of another shop that said no. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk in

I called around today. No one does flat glass installs anymore it seams. I can get the class, just no one wants to touch it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, More reading up on this. The factory painted fritting is a ceramic paint that has to be baked on….. way hotter than my oven can ever reach (close to 1000 degrees). What I am leaning towards is either a light sand blast (or etch) on the edge, adhesion promoter (optional), then black...

Ok…. I am learning as I go…. Please add input or corrections. I found out that normal windshields are painted on the edges (grit band) to protect the adhesive from UV rays, to hide the appearance of the adhesive, and the dots helps with transitioning the heat from the edges to the glass. It...

Found a video showing somewhat what I was thinking of doing. These windows are obviously different, but the edge trim and gluing are similar to what I was thinking. I won’t have the black ceramic coating on my glass, so I will have to make sure I can glue straight to the glass. I planned to...

I have had a few windshields replaced and what I noticed is the glass never touches or is bonded to the edges of the recess. They always shove a rubber strip in the recess gap to give the illusion that the gap is filled. I think they do that so the thermal expansion difference does not cause...

Did you put the pin through the hoops or is it pin on pin? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the risk of hijacking my own thread….. I am considering adding a wiper to that glass. Anyone have experience sizing the system? My guess is you measure from the motor hole to the center of the glass to set the arm length. Then manually sweep the arm to figure out what wiper fits. Then...

Thanks Chucky! That is a wealth of information. That is exactly the step-by-step I was looking for. Thanks again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought about doing something like this. I even thought about having no recess. The glass is going to be 10’ off the ground, so I was considering just putting some stops on the bottom and slapping it up there, then “caulking” the edge with a clean bead. I also thought of painting the steel...
