Anyone got a tail gate window handy?

[FRIZZLEFRY]

Long story short ,

You cant open the tailgate when the window isnt alllllll the way down What I thought was a sticky tailgate (again) was actually about a 1/4" of glass still sticking up and getting cought on the weatherstrip channel.

I wanna cut one from some Lexan I have so I was wondering if someone could measure the glass if you have it laying around.

I was gonna git all the glass outa the taigate,put all the pieces back together,and take my measurement but uhhh...

Thanks,
Chris

As best as I can tell the glass is flat and square! Should be o-k to get replacement at a glass shop.

Following the old carpenters rule (measure twice cut once---usually get that backwards) on my spare in the rafters from a 7/70: length (as yours) 43 3/16 inch. width (dif) 18 1/16 inch: Thicknes 0.211 inch/5.37 mm.

Now on my 7/75 the PO for some reason has a double pane (?????) at 0.268 inches/ 6.28 mm. Kind of academic I'd guess- though the window on the 7/75 kicks some speed going down and drags a nominal amount up.

And flat (did not run a straight edge on it though) edges beveled, corners moderately rounded (of course).
