Once the sheet metal has been reunited, the same amount of material has to be removed from the glass and window frames. Window frames are cut and joined after the same amount of material has been removed as was taken from the top. Flat glass is relatively easy to cut down or replace with new glass cut to fit. Curved glass is much more difficult to cut and often breaks in the process. Curved glass can be taped and sandblasted, sanded down with a belt sander or sunk into the cowl or rear deck to hide the extra glass. It can be cut with glasscutters but more often than not it breaks.
