ok.. CR Laurence (who is a major maker of Pickup Truck rear slider windows)
wants a commitment of over 1,000  units....which is big bucks..   so they're
out of the question..   anyone else know a small glass shop would custom make a
limited run of these??

if i cant find someone to make them, then this idea is dead in the water.
i'll still probaby custom make a one-off for myself, though.
