[T3] Popout to non-popout side glass... how?

[David Yaghoubian <goob@dnai.com>]

Hi Volks-

My 68 Square is all painted, beaded and 80% reassembled (!! looks
brilliant, IMHO :) and now I'm dealing with the finishing touches
(headliner, glass, seals). I wasn't able to get the "American" popout seals
for the rear passenger windows, so I bought the nonpopout seals and decided
to give up on the popout scene.

My question is this: How do I go about fitting the popout glass w/ the
non-popout seals? Is it just a matter of removing the chrome popout housing
and fitting the nonpopout rubber on the glass, or do I have to have new
glass custom cut for the non popouts? I have 2 sets of popout glass, so if
it's possible to reuse those I would love to go that route and save the
money. Otherwise I guess I'll have to shell out the dough, and this job is
already WAAAY over budget!!!!  Still, I don't want to cut corners here at
the end, so I would appreciate some advide from anyone willing to enlighten
me.  (Oh, if I do have to cut new glass, is anyone aware of the required
measurements? I know that is asking a bit much, but I've noticed some of
y'all have great recall w/ minute detailsPQ]igure it's worth a shot! ;)

TIA!!

PS After calling around and comparatively shopping for a new front
windshield I worked the local Bay Area glass shops down to $70! I thought
it was going to be much more for new front glass. Guess there are still
some deals out there...!
