77/350 - did the door or the glass break? Think the glass. Need to find out why it broke in the first place. First guess is the blow out clips on the windshield pillar.

They can curve it on their glass bender.

recently replaced both side windows on my Vette. Be wary of the replacements made in Thailand, they do NOT have the correct curvature along the length of the glass to match the door skin. I am waiting on a response from the supplier to see if they can get me some correct glasses but feel I am SOOL on this.

Only if the glass shop has a compound bender. Is the glass not only curved front to back but top to bottom as well?

I found mine at the local used Corvette parts store. they had them stacked like cord wood. The one I bought wasn't like new, but it was better than I had. The drivers side was so scratched, the outside mirror was useless.
