I did some more calling and was told by one glass man that he would cut all
my flat glass from tempered/tented glass for $145.00. He said that he could
cut the laminate, but the tmepered is what is in all the cars these days.
And he says with the tempered then the problem pof delamination is
nonexistant. He has a good rep with the local rodders and resto guys. Just
more info to confuse us more. I was also told that the PPG (Prittdburg
Plate Glass) pretty much only deals in curved glass.
