American-Made Quality. Designed, prototyped, molded, and manufactured in North America for OE-plus geometry, clarity, and fit. This is not import glass resized to approximate fit. This is glass engineered from the ground up for the Squarebody platform.
Kit (front and rear) fits 1973–1986 Chevy/GMC C/K Squarebody pickups. Windshield-only also fits 1973–1989 Blazer, 1973–1991 Jimmy, 1973–1991 Suburban, and 1973–1991 R/V pickups.
Give your Squarebody 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 Squarebody build deserves.
DOT-CERTIFIED. LAMINATED FRONT. TEMPERED REAR. AMERICAN-MADE.

No sanding required to fit
NO SANDING REQUIRED TO FIT.
Some brands request their overseas factories to make stock glass "a few inches larger," forcing 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, uniform reveal. 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: Float-glass lineage (Pilkington heritage) and LOF-style mold strategy for correct curvature and edge quality. This is not generic import glass resized to fit.
- 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-truck friendly: Clean, bonded install complements custom paint, smooth bodywork, and high-end Squarebody builds. This is the glass you see on magazine-feature trucks.
- 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.
What's included
- One (1) laminated front windshield — DOT-certified, green hue, flush-mount profile
- One (1) tempered rear glass — green hue, flush-mount profile
Not included: Adhesives, primers, clips, trim (not required), or installation labor.
Fitment
This listing includes the front windshield and rear glass as a kit. The windshield also fits additional GM truck and SUV platforms beyond the Squarebody pickup.
- Glass type: Front windshield is laminated (DOT-certified). Rear glass is tempered.
- Optics: OE-style green hue. Blocks 99.9% UVA.
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 bodies. Decide whether you are willing to perform this work before purchasing. Contact Fesler if you have questions about your specific shell.
Pairs with the Fesler Squarebody interior system. Fesler A-pillar panels are designed longer to hide the flush glass adhesive line. The Fesler one-piece headliner is designed to conceal the glue where flush glass meets the body, and Fesler side panels cover the edge of the glass. For the best result, run flush glass with Fesler A-pillars, headliner, and interior panels.
Installation and safety
- Professional install only: We do not endorse DIY flush-glass installs. Use a certified auto-glass technician experienced with urethane-bonded flush glass.
- Adhesive: Use automotive urethane with proper primers. Do not use butyl tape. Butyl holds approximately 60 psi. Urethane systems hold 600 psi or more. There is no comparison.
- Test-fit policy: Test fit within 60 days of receipt to identify any vehicle-specific issues requiring body work. Warranty and replacement are not available after 60 days.
- Returns: Glass is non-returnable. If fitment concerns arise, body corrections may be required on the vehicle side.
Do not use butyl tape for flush glass installation.
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. This is not optional.

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.
Does the windshield fit the Blazer, Jimmy, or Suburban?
Yes. The windshield from this kit also fits the 1973–1989 Chevrolet Blazer (2-door), 1973–1991 GMC Jimmy (2-door), 1973–1991 Chevrolet/GMC Suburban, and 1973–1991 R/V pickups. The rear glass is specific to the 1973–1986 Squarebody pickup.
Does this fit both Chevy and GMC trucks?
Yes. This kit fits 1973–1986 Chevrolet and GMC C/K Squarebody pickups, including C10, C20, C30, K10, K20, and K30 models.
Does this fit all Squarebody years from 1973 to 1986?
Yes. The same glass fits all 1973–1986 model years for the C/K Squarebody pickup. 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 request their factories to make stock glass larger, forcing you to sand to size. Fesler glass does not require sanding to fit.
Can I install this myself?
Fesler does not endorse DIY flush-glass installs. Use a certified auto-glass technician experienced with urethane-bonded flush glass. Proper primers and urethane adhesive are critical for safety and a lasting bond.
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?
This kit follows classic construction: laminated front windshield and tempered rear glass. Transfer OE accessories as applicable to your build.
How does shipping and billing work?
This product ships via LTL truck freight (commercial address recommended). Freight is quoted after checkout. After checkout, you will receive a Credit Card Authorization Form. Your card is not charged until the glass is ready to ship. Typical ship window is 15–20 business days after signed authorization is received. International freight is available, including Canada and Mexico.
Can I return the glass?
No. Glass is non-returnable. Test fit within 60 days of receipt to identify any vehicle-specific issues. If fitment concerns arise, body corrections on the vehicle side may be required. Warranty and replacement are not available after 60 days. Contact Fesler before ordering if you have questions about your shell.
Will this fit a reproduction body?
Reproduction bodies may require metal work to meet proper glass geometry. Fesler does not recommend flush glass for reproduction shells without verifying body work readiness first. Contact Fesler before ordering if you are running a reproduction body.
What Fesler interior parts pair with flush glass?
Fesler A-pillar panels are designed longer to hide the flush glass adhesive line. The Fesler one-piece headliner is shaped to conceal the glue where flush glass meets the body, and Fesler side panels cover the edge of the glass so the adhesive is never visible from inside the cab. For the best result, run flush glass with Fesler A-pillars, headliner, and interior panels.
