American-Made Quality. Designed, prototyped, molded, and manufactured in North America using the Float Glass process (Pilkington lineage). This is not import glass resized to approximate fit. This is glass engineered from the ground up for the 1968–1972 Nova.
Fits 1968–1972 Chevrolet Nova. Front windshield and rear glass included.
Give your 1968–1972 Nova the modern trim-delete, flush-bonded look without compromising fit, safety, or legality. Unlike oversized import glass that often needs to be sanded or "massaged" to fit, Fesler Flush-Mount Glass is engineered through iterative prototyping, test-fit molds, and multi-vehicle verification to seat precisely in the OE opening. The result is tight, repeatable gaps, clean sightlines, and a professional installation on every build. Front windshield is DOT-certified laminated glass. Rear is tempered glass. Both feature an OE-style green hue and block 99.9% UVA. No exterior trim or rubber weatherstrip required. This is the glass a third-gen Nova build deserves.

NO SANDING REQUIRED TO FIT.
Some brands oversize glass and expect you to sand to size on every install. Fesler prototypes, molds, test-fits, manufactures, and test-fits again so your glass fits as delivered. The process takes longer. The tooling costs more. The result is glass that seats in the opening without guesswork. You get what you pay for.
Why builders choose Fesler flush-mount glass
- True flush-mount design: Purpose-sized glass bonds within the OE aperture with a tight, even gap. Repeatable fitment from unit to unit.
- Trimless, rubberless perimeter: Uses a FRIT band, primer, and automotive urethane bonding system. No exterior molding or rubber weatherstrip required. The bonded perimeter is the finished edge.
- Manufacturing pedigree: Made in North America using the Float Glass process (Pilkington lineage) and LOF-style mold strategy for factory-grade curvature and edge quality.
- Optics and protection: OE-style green hue. Windshield is laminated for safety. Rear is tempered for strength. Both block 99.9% UVA.
- DOT-certified: The front windshield is DOT-approved for legal street use. This is real laminated automotive glass, not polycarbonate.
- Show-car friendly: Clean, bonded install complements custom paint, smooth bodywork, and high-end Nova builds.
- American-made: Designed, prototyped, molded, and manufactured in North America. Not imported and resized.
What is flush-mount glass
Precisely sized glass sits within the OE opening with a tight, uniform reveal. It eliminates exterior trim and rubber weatherstrip entirely and bonds in with an automotive FRIT band, primer, and high-strength urethane, producing an OE-style fit with no body modifications on most correctly prepared vehicles. The result is a clean, modern sightline with no visual interruption between glass and body.
Polycarbonate vs. laminated automotive glass — read before you buy
If you are shopping flush-mount glass, you will encounter polycarbonate ("plastic") windshields. Here is what you need to know before you decide.
Want the full breakdown? Read our deep-dive: Polycarbonate windshields are not street legal — here is why real laminated automotive glass is safer and smarter.

Reproduction bodies — read before ordering.
Glass is non-returnable. If it does not fit out of the crate, your vehicle may require body work. This is more common on certain reproduction shells. Decide whether you are willing to perform this work before purchasing. Contact Fesler if you have questions about your specific shell.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to modify the body to install this glass?
Typically no, on correctly prepared OE shells. Reproduction bodies may need metal work to meet proper glass geometry. Contact Fesler if you are unsure about your shell.
Is exterior trim or rubber weatherstrip required?
No. The bonded FRIT band, primer, and urethane system provides the finished perimeter. No exterior molding, trim, or rubber weatherstrip is required. Keep the gap clean and uniform for the best appearance.
Is this glass street legal?
Yes. The front windshield is DOT-certified laminated automotive glass, approved for legal street use. The rear glass is tempered. This is not polycarbonate. This is real automotive glass.
What is the difference between Fesler glass and polycarbonate windshields?
Polycarbonate ("plastic") windshields are not DOT-approved for public roads and are not street legal in the windshield position. They are prone to scratching, hazing, yellowing, and heat distortion. Fesler flush-mount glass is DOT-certified laminated automotive glass with tempered rear glass. It is street legal, safer, more durable, and optically clearer. See the full comparison above.
Will this fit a 1966–1967 Nova?
No. The 1966–1967 and 1968–1972 Nova use different glass dimensions. Fesler offers a separate flush-mount glass kit for the 1966–1967 Nova hardtop. Confirm your model year before ordering.
Will this fit a Chevy II?
Yes. The 1968–1972 Chevy II and Nova share the same body platform. This glass kit fits both nameplates.
Does this fit all years from 1968 to 1972?
Yes. The same glass fits all 1968–1972 model years. No year-specific differences.
Do I need to sand the glass to fit?
No. Fesler flush-mount glass is prototyped, molded, test-fit, manufactured, and test-fit again so it fits as delivered. Competitors often oversize glass and expect you to sand to size. Fesler glass does not require sanding to fit.
Can I install this myself?

Why can I not use butyl tape?
Butyl tape holds approximately 60 psi. Automotive urethane bonding systems hold 600 psi or more. Flush-mount glass must be bonded with urethane and proper primers for safety, structural integrity, and a lasting install. Butyl is not an acceptable adhesive for flush glass.
Is this a heated or sensor windshield?
