rear windows/doors

Bad_Ass_S10 · Post by **Bad_Ass_S10** » Fri Mar 12, 2004 1:37 am

Does anyone know if there are windows for the rear doors that are not smoked, All i can find is smoked or factory tented windows. I need to find clear windows if possible, I have already called some local glass shops and everyone said the same thing that it was not an option so to find replacements that are clear is impossible

OH I get it.. so if nobody has clear windows you will be different ! and different means cool..

let make that the new fad.. every one get non tinted windows oooh yeah

maybe some off the blazer version or have them custom cut by a glass place.. Why would you want clear windows..

Actually it's probably a carshow thing.....

Go to a big show and you'll notice a lot of the vehicles with no window winting at all, that way the competitors can show off the interior without having to leave the windows down all day.

adrenalnjunky, you got it, its more a car show thing, I heard to have them custom cut would be $$$$$$$$ so i figured I would post here to see if anyone would be of some help,

Badass -- you might want to try and see if the rear doors are the same on the brazillian/south american S-10 crew's -- it's been more of a fleet/work truck down there, and those trucks might have a clear glass option.

Just a thought.

I'm wondering if the big glass is the same as the glass in the rear 4 door blazer. As for the two smaller windows, probably could get them custom cut.

Good Luck,

i thought about that too, but I havent seen any clear glass on a 4 door blazer either -- it was a standard option for factory tinted glass even on base models, and mine is so dark , that I haven't seen the need to tint the windows ont he trucka t all, and I usually run 20 - 35% on all my vehicles.

I've seen a few 4 door blazers with no tint here in NY on DOT county trucks. Granted the blazer/crew plant is here in Linden, NJ.

Yeah, I am looking for the large glass windows ( the ones that Roll down ) the small ones I aint too worried about.

I just saw a 4door blazer and the window looks very very close to our rear window. The small window is def. not the same. There is def. non-tinted windows out there cause fleet vehicles you could get them without tint. The problem will be getting your local glass shop to find it.

Good Luck,

I grabbed a tape measure and went and measured the rear glass in my blazer..

These aren't exactmeasurements, and I was measuring outside the truck, from the inside of the black border around the window:

front to bacK
at the bottom window sill it was about 17 3/4"
at the top it was roughly 17 1/2" (My ventshade was in the way

top to bottom:
At the front it was about 17 1/4 to 17 3/8" Ventshade was in the way again

At the back it was about 17 3/4"

Without completely removing the glass I can't say for sure what exact dimensions are. I also can't say if the compound curves of the glass are the same.

Take a 20 inch square of tracing paper to a parking lot, find an unattended 4 door blazer, and go trace you an outline of the window, then cut it out and see if it fits on your truck.

I have a conversion, and the rear doors and windows are brazilian GM parts, the rears were untinted, they have aftermarket tint.

just paint your windows black if you want to be different

But leave a bowtie cutout in the middle

Or do a convertible hardtop like the SSR.
