Full Version: 2003 Mustang
I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem. i had an 03 saleen in the shop to day and the passenger side door was nearly 3/8 inch shorter than the driver. i hand cut both my patterns at the same time on the passenger side so when i got to the drivers door it was WAY to small. so i recut it and it came out great. i know its not uncommon to have different sizes but i have never seen that much difference on the same car. anyone else ever seen this?
I ALWAYS cut frameless doors individually, no matter the car. They are almost never the same
i find it happens alot with ford.
I did a Montero that was that way. Every roll up on that thing was different

I've got a 02 mustang on the books for today. I'll take notes and we'll see how it goes..

most likely cheap after market glass ...we did a nissan the other day pass side of the car had cheap after market glass different size and double the shrink
Well, My 02 mustang went well! I tried something different this time after reading up on this thread. I usually cut both sides off of the driver side, Its just a habit.
Well I cut them off of the pass side on this one. I don't know if I just got lucky, but they turned out the same size. No problems and it turned out just fine! I have had different size issues. Maybe the pass side is bigger? and that reverse duplicate would work on the smaller driver side with just a little more "tuck" at the bottom.(make sense?) I don't know!
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
