Cutting a windshield

Don't know if a local window or glass type business might cut the windshield down for you.

I can't find one in the Greater Milwaukee area that will even think about doing it.

When I replaced the windshield in my car 20 years ago it was too large. When the layers were laminated they slipped so it was about 1/8" too large. The glass installer said he could try to grind it but could not guarantee that it would not break. The vendor said go ahead and try it and if it broke he would send me another one. The installer actually used a glass cutter and scribed a cut line around the glass. He then poured alcohol on the scribes and lit them on fire. After the flames burned away he used a nibbler and went around the edge nibbling off small pieces until he had done the whole perimeter. Then installed the glass. The whole thing took a couple of hours.

i have NO idea if this will work, but....

how about a diamond dust grinding bit run with lots of coolant and slight pressure so as not to generate any heat or stress.

this is just a random thought of madness, please try on scrap first.

Found a glass supplier that has a large belt sander that will do it for $5.00. I'll let you know if it comes out windshield or windshields.

The windshield was taken to the glass guy and he said "no way" because the glass was curved. I guess he didn't listen real good on the telephone.

I wonder if you could build it into the car like my black 5S, so it is flush mount? If you are not concerned about original look maybe that would work.
