Who sells Barndoor windshields? Or is there a template I can give to my glass people?

Thanks!

A guy in the UK sells all the glass his name is Darren Franklin or if you just want a template its the same as later splitbus minus 15 mm off the height I think.

Hold up a factory windshield in a later bus, measure gap around to seal pinch seam (couple mm for seal thickness) trace your barndoor opening onto some card stock or door skin and cut out with same gap as you measured on other bus. Now you have a template to take to local glass shop. People make this little issue into a big deal, don’t overthink shit Wink
