G-Body Flush Glass and Interior Program
Flush glass
for theG-Body
Fesler is tooling flush-mount glass, plus a fiberglass dash, door panels, kick panels and console, for the 1978 to 1988 GM A/G-body platform. No chrome reveal. No rubber gasket. Glass bonded straight to the body.
We looked for a flush-mount, trimless glass kit for any G-body and could not find one offered by anyone. If it exists, tell us on the form and we will say so. Meanwhile we are building it, and the order it gets built in is not decided yet.
Fesler USA is tooling flush-mount automotive glass and fiberglass interior components for the 1978 to 1988 GM A/G-body platform, including the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Buick Regal and Grand National, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The glass will be built to the same DOT-compliant laminated and tempered specification as the kits Fesler ships today. No G-body part is for sale, no price is set, and no fitment range has been published. Sign-ups on this page are the input Fesler uses to set which model gets tooled first.
One windshield.
Eleven years.
Five divisions.
Published reproduction interchange lists the 1978 to 1988 two-door windshield as one glass across the platform, in two versions: with the factory in-glass antenna and without. Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and GMC.
antenna and no antenna
That is why a G-body glass program makes economic sense. Tool once, cover a platform. This is published interchange, not a Fesler fitment claim, and catalogs do not fully agree with each other on the edges. Before a year range goes on a Fesler product page, someone here measures the car.
Chevrolet Malibu and the Regal-based Grand National and T-Type appear on some suppliers’ lists for the same glass. Back glass follows a different split. See register, item 02.
The chrome comes off
and stays off
A factory G-body has a stainless reveal molding framing the windshield and the back glass, clipped over a rubber gasket. Flush glass deletes both. The glass bonds to the body with urethane and sits level with the paint, so the roof reads as one surface instead of four pieces of trim.
On a car built out of straight lines and a formal roof, deleting the trim is the biggest visual change available short of paint. It is not subtle and it is not meant to be. Rear window chrome comes up constantly on the G-body forums.
Seven parts.
Six line items.
Everything here is either in tooling or in design. Nothing here is finished, and nothing here carries a fitment range yet.

Back glass

A cap is not
a repair
Most G-body dashes crack, and the common fix is a lid over the crack.
Dash threads come back on the G-body forums constantly, and the answers are mostly overlays, caps and adhesive laid over a pad that split years ago.
Fesler has been building fiberglass and steel dashes, consoles and kick panels for years, for Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, C10, Squarebody, OBS and Charger. The G-body is the platform we have never covered, and it is the one where the factory part fails most predictably.
What we know.
What we are checking.
What we cannot answer.
Most sellers in this category publish a year range up front. We are not going to until we have measured. On a freight-shipped windshield a wrong range is a broken part, a return and a builder who tells everybody. So here is the actual state of it, including the rows that make us look unfinished.
Tell us what you drive
Quarter glass gets tooled one model at a time and the order is not picked yet. This list is the input Fesler uses to pick it. The last box is how a car that is not on the list gets considered.
No payment, no deposit, no card. There is nothing to buy on this page.
You get a short confirmation, one background piece on the program, and after that updates only when there is real news: a mold cut, a sample result, a price.
If a part does not end up covering your car, we will tell you that directly instead of leaving you on a list.
Your answers go straight into the tooling decision. This is not a marketing form dressed up as a survey.
The tooling order,
as it stands
Not a marketing graphic. This is what the list is telling us so far, and it is the input behind the tooling order. Updated as entries come in.
Legality, freight,
installation
The three questions that kill glass orders at checkout, up here instead of buried in a policy page.
DOT and street legality
The windshield will be laminated safety glass built to the same DOT-compliant specification as every Fesler kit shipping today. The back glass is tempered. Flush mounting changes how the glass attaches to the car, not what the glass is. Polycarbonate windshields are not DOT approved and Fesler does not sell them.
Freight and crating
Glass ships crated on a freight carrier, not in a box on a van. It is built, packed and scheduled per order. When there is a real lead time for G-body we will publish the real number.
Installation
Flush glass is urethane bonded and wants a professional installer. Worth planning for on any car this age: corrosion can hide in the back glass channel and you do not see it until the glass is out. Budget for the possibility.
What we will and
will not promise
Tooling programs slip, samples fail, and prices move while molds are still being cut. So here is the deal in writing, before you give us an email address.
We will
- +Tell you when the mold is cut, in plain language, with a photo when we can show one.
- +Tell you when a sample passes, and tell you when one does not.
- +Publish the price once tooling is finished and the number is real.
- +Publish exactly which cars it covers and which it does not, after we measure them.
- +Say so in the program update, by model, if a part ends up not covering your car.
We will not
- ×Quote a ship date we cannot hold.
- ×Take a deposit or a placeholder payment for a part that does not exist yet.
- ×Publish a year range we have not verified on an actual car.
- ×Tell you it fits your car because you want it to.
- ×Send a G-body update when there is no G-body news.
The things people
actually ask
10.1Is anything on this page for sale right now?
No. There is no G-body product in the store, no pre-order, no deposit and no price. This page exists to collect what people drive so the tooling order matches real demand.
10.2Does this cover my 1985 Monte Carlo SS?
We are not answering that yet, and we would rather say so than guess. Published reproduction interchange suggests one windshield spans most of the run, but that is a catalog, not a measurement, and Fesler does not publish a coverage claim until someone here has measured the car. Put your year and model on the form and you will hear the answer the same day we have it.
10.3What about T-tops?
Open question. T-top cars have a different roof structure and the answer may not be the same for the windshield and the back glass. It is on the form for a reason. The more T-top cars on the list, the sooner it gets resolved.
10.4Are you doing the Aerocoupe?
Undecided. The 1986 to 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe has a back glass unique to the car, and only 200 were built in 1986 against 6,052 in 1987. Low volume, high visibility, and exactly the kind of call the list should make instead of us. If you have one, say so.
For the record, the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 is a different car with a different rear window. It was 1986 only, and Pontiac never used the name Aerocoupe for it, though the collector market long since adopted it.
10.5Do you make it for the El Camino, the Malibu, or the 442?
Not in this round, and we are not going to imply otherwise. Those cars are on the form anyway. If enough of them land on the board they become round two. That is not a line, it is how the sequence actually gets set.
10.6Is flush glass DOT legal?
It will be. Certification happens on the finished part, and no G-body part has been produced yet. The windshield will be laminated automotive glass built to the same DOT-compliant specification as every Fesler kit shipping today, and the back glass will be tempered. Flush mounting changes how the glass bonds to the body, not what the glass is made of. Polycarbonate is a different thing entirely, it is not DOT approved for windshields, and Fesler does not sell it.
10.7What is this going to cost?
Not set, and we are not going to estimate one. Tooling is not finished, so any number today would be a guess, and a guess becomes an anchor. The real number gets published when tooling is done and the cost is known.
10.8Can my body shop install it, or do I need a glass shop?
A competent glass installer, or a body shop that does urethane bonding. It is not a driveway job. Worth planning for on any car of this age: corrosion can hide in the back glass channel and you will not see it until the old glass is out.
10.9Why is Fesler starting with the G-body?
Because we could not find the parts anywhere. We searched for a flush-mount, trimless or rubberless glass kit for any 1978 to 1988 G-body and came up empty. On the interior side, Fesler already builds dashes, consoles and kick panels for seven other platforms and none for this one, while the common fix for a cracked G-body dash is a cap over the crack.
10.10I have a different car too. Do you make anything for it?
Probably. Fesler flush glass is shipping today for 1967 to 1981 Camaro and Firebird, 1966 to 1972 Chevelle, 1966 to 1972 Nova, 1964½ to 1970 Mustang, 1964 to 1972 C10, 1973 to 1987 Squarebody, 1969 to 1991 Blazer, 1966 to 1976 Bronco, 1961 to 1973 Volvo P1800 and 1968 to 1970 Charger.
Open for pre-order rather than shipping: 1955 to 1959 C10, 1988 to 2000 OBS and 1967 to 1972 Ford truck. The full index is at the bottom of this page.
While the G-body
is in tooling
Most people reading this have more than one car in the shop. Everything in items 01 to 10 is shipping. Item 11 is pre-order.
The order is
not decided
One model gets its quarter glass cut first. Right now that decision is a short list and a lot of blank rows.
