Auto City flush mount glass
Anyone have some feedback on flush mount glass from Auto City Classics? Seems like Fesler has the market on this one.

I’ve been watching those too. Pricing is good.
Hopefully someone has tried it |
Re: Auto City flush mount glass
Check with this guy Jason Vanatta. He sells them and may have some insight?
I've talked to him on the phone before, he was more than happy to answer questions and offer advise. https://www.vannattafabrication.com/...tem-p144963256 |
Re: Auto City flush mount glass
Wow, that is a big price for glass. Afraid I'll stick with factory style. It does look good though.

Re: Auto City flush mount glass
that is why the OP is asking about the Auto City Classic glass. They are much much less than the Fesler.
I am just interested as mine is leaking some plus I have the chrome trim so it creates a lot of wind noise (I assume) Thanks, Dave |

Re: Auto City flush mount glass
they also have a flush mount back glass as well to match the front.
Thanks, Dave |
Re: Auto City flush mount glass
One thing to consider is that unless you build up the frame around the windshield you will see the edge of the glass. It doesn’t sit flush like a car that is designed for it. I had the Fesler glass installed on my Blazer and it took a lot of work.

All Fesler Flush Mounted DOT Glass is made right here in America. Our glass is designed to go in like new glass and if you install it right it will look perfect. If you can see the edge of the glass its not installed correctly or its not FESLER GLASS. We have been selling C-10 glass for over 6 years with zero issues on fitment. Check out the website at www.shopfesler.com. As for Auto City Glass, it is an inch larger than our glass so you will have to sand it down to fit as its all from China, they buy all blems so buyer beware. |

It seems when I have looked at other windshield threads there is quite a bit of issues with almost any (regular sized) glass. Some too thin amount other issues. It doesn't seem to be any standouts in the crowd of manufactures or maybe they are all just distributors. Thanks, Dave |
Re: Auto City flush mount glass
Thanks for feedback. From what I can see it really matters on body color how the original gasket will look. I think my color will be ok with gasket. Fesler isnt making the small back glass for another couple months either.

Re: Auto City flush mount glass
Flush mount glass sure looks nice. Even if it fits the outside you still have deal with looking at the pinch weld on the inside also as the truck was never designed for it. Overall cost is to much for me consider on my build.

Re: Auto City flush mount glass
So people don't have to look it up .
$1799 for the Fesler flush glass. Front and rear glass OEM style, from Fesler, is $190. At least that's the way I read it. |
Re: Auto City flush mount glass
What is so different about the flush mount glass? Isn't it 1/2 - 3/4" wider on all the edges to make up the difference of the missing rubber seal?

Re: Auto City flush mount glass
Yes I believe that would sum it up. It gives a more "modern" look and I believe will be less likely to leak. I have a theory it will also be quieter. The Fesler is very reputable but also very expensive, this Autoglass sounds like it may be problematic but more affordable. I am kindof on the edge as I do need to replace mine due to some leaks, I am also curious about going back to the non trim version, the trim adds a level of difficulty as well.

Kind of do not mind cost of Fesler windshield myself. They can charge what they want as the product is "unique". It is the extra work and detail on the inside to make it look right that worries me. If doing a full custom interior I guess that would not matter. |
