Windshield glass template

Does anyone have a windshield glass template for the glass shop for my M38? Or is it easier to take it to the glass shop and have one cut? I have a seal and feel confident that I could save some money and install it myself.

Just have the shop cut the glass for a CJ3, the glass is the same... also get clear glass not tinted, to be correct for the period...
I took mine in to a local place and the glass and install only cost me about $100... they did a great job and put the gasket in the way I wanted to be factory
Hope this helps...

Hi, Hal,
What would be the name of the place you
got the glass put in at? And, did you supply the
rubber thingie? I'm fixin' to place an order with
John up in the cold place, and could add this to
that.

I went to a local glass place here in OKC (City Glass, located on NW 5th Street, downtown ). I took the jeep in and they cut the glass and mounted it... All I had to provide was the two piece rubber gasket for the glass... I did tell them to use the pattern for a CJ3A/B, which they said they had in their machine/Files...
This place does lots of restoration work for the old car crowd here in OKC... They had a 1930s limo in the shop when I got there...
John at Midwest Military should have them... I had the bead placed on the inside like the factory is supposed to have done...
Hope this helps...
