working on my door windows

[thom]

The door windows and all related parts were missing when I got my "new" GTII. Today I made a pattern, from cardboard, for the main glass. I am pleased with the fit of my pattern. Tomorrow I plan to visit the local camper sales and supply store. The part I'm most curious about is the "H" molding or whatever it takes to separate the main glass from the sliding, small corner section, and the latch mechanism to keep the slider from sliding when it needs to be stationary. Anybody found something that worked well and will share the info? Thanks.

I took my pattern to the only automotive glass shop in town today and got a quote of $140 for both door glasses, including the cutout sliding parts, with all edges dressed as they need to be. I then checked at Lowe's building supply, and my favorite hardware store, for 1/4" plexi-glass and found the price to be very close to the glass shop. I will check a couple more glass shops in the next town down the road though as "our" glass shop has a reputation of being a little high, probably because he's the only shop in town. At Lowe's, I did buy some aluminum "U" shaped channel that is 1/4" inside and 3/8" deep. I'm thinking that I can epoxy pieces together, back to back, making it into a "H" shape and have what I need to separate the stationary glass and the sliding glass. Now to figure out a method of latching the sliding portion into place.
