The Truth About Cheap Flush Mount Glass Kits

The Truth About Cheap Flush Mount Glass Kits

If you’ve been hunting down a flush mount glass kit for your build, you’ve probably seen the super-cheap ones floating around eBay. At first glance, they look like a deal. But once you try to install them? You’ll realize why they were so cheap in the first place.

Most of those kits are imported, made with questionable materials, and come with zero support when things inevitably go sideways. And here at Fesler, after 30+ years in the game, we’ve heard it all. In fact, the most common thing we hear at shows?

“I should’ve just bought your kit from the start.”

Here’s why that keeps happening.


Poor Fitment = Wasted Time, Money, and Energy

One of the biggest problems with these knockoff kits is fitment. The glass often isn’t shaped right to match your vehicle’s body lines, so you’re left dealing with:

• Gaps and leaks around seals
• Frustrating installs that eat up your time
• Or worse, glass that just flat-out won’t mount

By the time you’ve shaved, heated, and forced it to fit, you’ve already spent more money and time than if you had just done it right the first time.


Low-Quality Glass = High Risk

These import kits typically use non-DOT-approved glass that’s prone to scratching, chipping, and in some cases—shattering. And when it fails? Good luck getting any kind of customer service from an eBay seller who ghosted you the second they made the sale.

But it gets more serious than just cosmetics…

Your windshield is a structural safety component. It helps:
• Reinforce airbag deployment
• Keep you from being ejected in an accident
• Prevent the roof from collapsing in a rollover (yes, for real)

Cut corners here, and you’re not just risking your build—you’re risking lives.


Fesler Glass = Made Right, Built to Last

Every Fesler flush mount glass kit is American-made, DOT-approved, and precision-engineered for your exact vehicle. That means:

Don’t Be That Guy: Glass Comes Last

Quick reminder for the over-eager: do not install your glass until your build is fully assembled, aligned, and sitting flat on the ground.

If you’re calling us with no fenders or doors installed yet, trying to throw in a windshield—you’re jumping the gun. Glass is one of the final steps. Rushing it leads to wasted effort, broken parts, and expensive redos.
