Need help with windshield frame
2 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
Does anyone have a bare (preferably factory) windshield frame out there who can take a measurement for me? I need the inside to inside dimension of the very upper edge of the pinch weld flanges. I've been stalled on this area for some time now, any help would be VERY much appreciated. It's around 57", I believe, but I want to be sure before I start welding it all up. |

Well, if it was me, I would install the glass and the gasket before you weld it up. If you don't get that window opening correct, it will bite you later. I did a Dodge truck 20 years ago and the opening was tight. Was a nightmare and an expensive mistake/

I just checked my jimmy and got these measurements;
1. 56-3/4" 2. 60-9/16" (my flanges are kinda bent out, yours look bent in, so this may vary) 3. 55-5/8" I would think the first is the most important. Good luck, Rg |

Thank you Roger. Very very much appreciated. Now I'm curious though. If anybody else is reading this and can take measurements, please do it. I'd like to see if there's any significant variation in this particular area. It could come in handy for future builders.

Here is what I came up with today.
Sorry for the poor quality pics, I was on a rickety stool when doing this. Holding the tape measure still with one hand while trying to snap a pic with the other required far more athletic ability than I possess. I pick my body up next week from the Rhino Liner, I will have some help when that day arrives, so I should be able to provide some cleaner pictures. I had tape measure catch on the outside of the weather stripping lip, and on the outside of the drip rail up top. I pushed the front of the tape measure into the top corner of the window channel and held it there the best I could while taking the pic. That one may be off a bit, it looked straight when I was doing it, but the picture makes it look like I was bowed out on the tape. :(. I can re-measure, just let me know if you need more. I'm happy to help. |

Looks close to my measurements, so that's good!

Just thought I'd add, I checked each dimension 3 times (it's the engineer in me...).
Good luck, Rg |

Blazer is dragging, they spray it tomorrow, and I pick it up Friday. I will send you measurements Friday evening. Sound good? The pics were sent by the guys at the shop. I would have grabbed the measurements had I been there. |
