Now that I safely removed the glass, how should I keep it safe. Right now I have them tucked away in the basement with the bottom edge on ground and top edge leaning against a wall. Is this O.K. or should I lay them flat?

: How to store rear glass and windshield? chev64 Oct 1st, 02, 4:15 PM I would lay them flat with a moving pad or some kind of quilt between the glass and whatever you lay them on. ------------------ Leo Paugh Maryland Chevelle Club #017 A.C.E.S.#3731 progress has little to do with speed, but lots to do with direction. Maryland Chevelle Club (http://www.chevelles.net/mcc/mcc.htm) vettefella Oct 1st, 02, 4:29 PM DO NOT lay them flat for storage!! They should be stored upright with some sort of padding between the glass and the floor and padding between the two pieces if stored together. gasoline_fiend Oct 1st, 02, 4:36 PM For my extra rear glass, I wrapped it in bubble wrap and the "reconfigured" box my CI hood came in. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif It leans up against the wall and won't get scratched. ------------------ Eric Taylor 72 Malibu 350 (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/ericsvellepic1.jpg) 68 SS396 basket case drptop70ss Oct 1st, 02, 6:57 PM I agree, keep them upright and not flat. The rear windows are very durable, but I have had windshields crack from temp changes while just sitting around. An old comforter or other padding will keep the scratches away, but also have to be careful with the edges which are pretty delicate. ------------------ Dave 70 chevelle ss396 conv 66 chevelle ss396 hdp/conv 68/72 chevelles 55/57/61 chevies TC member #493 Never forget Earnhardt!

I'd recommend a couple of lengths of that split foam pipe insulation for the bottom edge, then wrap in a moving blanket. Stash 'em in the garage attic. ------------------ '64 El Camino 383 - TH-350 - 12bolt 4 wheel disc '64 Before Engine (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/JohnD/LFnoengine.jpg) '64 After Engine (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/JohnD/LFengine.jpg) | ||
