Default Rear window specs (76)

Can anyone go out and measure their rear window on the Vette?

I'm heading down to where mine is sitting, tomorrow, and will probably test-tint the window just to see how it would look. It'd save me a bunch of time (there won't be but a few hours of daylight left after I get back from hunting, and I plan on fixing quite a few things, too) and I'd really appreciate it.

What I'm basically looking for is the height at its tallest point and the width at its widest point, with an extra 1/4 inch added for trimming purposes.

Thanks guys. =)

Don't have my 73 rear handy, but the 72 removable frame is 10.5 x 42.

That should be a little larger than the visable area of your 76.

Hope that helps.

This is about right, my '76 is 10.5 X 40.5, add the 1/4 to this for the trimming.
