Thanks Chris.  Let me ask a few dumb questions.

What glass works with what?  80-84 and 85-91?  Stacy thought he had one from a later model that was longer, but there's nothing later than 85-91.

Left and right sides are different right?

The reason I ask is because my local glass company tells me they can make me one if I get a template.  I'm assuming no one out there has a template.  I thought I could remove my left side glass, and draw a template if i 'mirror' it or reverse it.

Make sense or foolishness??

Thanks again everyone
Jeff
