Yes it is laminated. It has the thin plastic inbetween the two pieces of glass. only thing holding it together right now actually.

you're right, lots of people jacking with this car. hopefully I'm heading in the right direction to correct at least most of it, but then again whoever owns it 50 years from now may find my methods sloppy as well. oh well, drive and enjoy it.

I figured this was a replacement window as the edge cut was HORRIBLE on the side of the glass. I do know my Grandfather had some glass replaced at one point, I believe it was the wing windows in the rear actually. I have written evidence of this.

I also have a small crack in one of the rear wing windows, but as that seems to be much harder to get to and take apart...i'll live with it. taking apart the framing to get to the glass scares me on those wing windows, considering the rarity of their size. I may have a glass shop try to stop the spread of the crack. it is small right now and has not spread. it was there when I got the car and it originates from the latching mechanism.

I was thinking about using just black RTV to set the new glass in the bottom channel. originally it looks like it was a thin sheet of rubber. any reason why black RTV wouldn't serve it's purpose the same? other then its not correct.
