RGJS 10-3 shows "Windshield Trademark Location" as per the first photo attached. I want to have the trademark as shown in the second photo (from 10-3). It height would be greater than 7/16". It is to be centered 1-3/4" from the left edge - great. What about the distance from the bottom? Should it be 1-1/4" to the bottom edge of the trademark and I should just ignore the 7/16" measurement?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Neil that is what I was thinking. 1-1/4 to the bottom of the bug. Don't take my word for it, someone from the JS will see this and answer it for you.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Ok the judges are NOT going to use a tape measure you can be sure. Here is what we are looking for on the outside of the glass. You cannot of course get it is between the glass Luke originals. But this could help you Neil and everyone. Also we are 1-3/4 from the outer edge of the passenger side and APPROX only 1-1/4 from bottom.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

If I still had Vermin, I'd ETCH Lady Bugs on ALL the windows---LOL
I do stained glass & know how to do it. I'd use my Harbor Freight Plug Cleaner, for a sand blaster. I once blasted a whole carbonator with it! (If I speld right, someone would think I wus an IMPOSTER!)

Mitch its not "critical" to the exact measurement BUT at the same time you want to keep within the parameters best you can

Hmm.... I have found out that the image in the RGJS is actually for a 1930-31 quarter window taken from Vincent Falter's site at http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/glassdetails.htm. That is why the image does not look like a windshield and the trademark shown is not valid for a windshield. If the measurements are also correct for the windshield glass, then the trademark will be about .3" less in both direction after being installed in a windshield frame.Originally posted by Mark Maron View Post
FYI - I am writing an article for the Double A'er (Ford Model AA Truck Club) about windshield assembly A-79405 (for 79-A, 82-A, 85-A). It would be good to have valid information in the article. I have created the attached for the article (subject to change if incorrect).Regards - Neil Wilson - [email protected]Comment

About a month ago or so there were some questions on the BUG on the windshield and location, I was asked to take pics from our 29 roadster and did so. Hope this helps some out.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I have a question when did these start appearing on glass on ford cars?Comment
-
from the beginning. Laminated Safety glass bore a trademark on them. With that said, Wind Wings after 1930 also had them -
Ok thanks Mark you answered my question I was wondering if late 1927 model t Fords had them, so this was on the laminated safety glass not the original heavier plate glass used earlier before safety glass came out. Thank you very much. I am really looking forward to the judging at my first Model A national.

The pervious owner put a new glass windshield in his car and wanting to save bucks, install a regular 7/32 plate glass.
I removed the w/s frame to get it powder coated, Could not see a offset double image in the glass. SUPRISE
What is the correct thickness for tempered laminated glass as per Henry's specs. Also to fit with new glazing.
I had no idea that it was not the correct...08-31-2018, 05:11 PM -
I bought some setting material from Mitch several months ago. I will be installing the glass in the frame for my 29 phaeton soon. I am wondering if I should use any liquid, like something slick, to help the setting material/glass go into the frame. Maybe the glass/setting material will go into the frame OK with nothing, but I am not sure. I have never installed windshield glass in an open car...08-05-2018, 06:23 PM -

Anyone ever have to revert to using Liquid Glass to seal up a small crack in an engine block? If so, what results did you have?
Maybe this should have gone into the Technical Forum, I feel so "techy" today!!!!!.png "thumb up")

I got a nice new windshield frame and glass installed and it needs to be painted black. Should I mask off and paint or break the seal and pull out the glass? I know the easy route I want to take.....08-10-2017, 05:14 PM -
Seems my request is being ignored over on the other side of the tracks.. I am installing wind wings on my 29 Murray Town Sedan.. I am having the glass cut but a local glass man here and I need dimensions.. Can ANYONE assist me with a schematic or anything with measurement....Thank you all in advance!!!....Mark...08-11-2017, 01:02 PM -
i took it completely apart when I was in high school in the 70s and finished it by the time I got out of college. It isn't a show car mainly because I drove it as a daily driver to my first job. Most things are correct on it but it needs going through before I fire it up. I already put new tires on and will check the usual things then try and start it. Things sure have changed since I tore it down...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

This is what i use to set the glass into the window channels. It's made by 3M and is a two part epoxy type mix which uses this special gun and a mixing nozzle.. I guess one could get some out and mix it by hand if needed without the applicator gun, but you may have to break it open. If the glass ever needs to be removed just heat the channel with a hair dryer or a heat gun. I don't like using the...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
