I have no personal experience myself with any of the aftermarket glass, but heard its a little thinner then the factory stuff. Don't know how true that is. Just something I heard. I have heard the same thing. Im curious if would effect window sealing or would leak air bad

Anyone heard of www.VintageGlass.com ? They quoted me a price for all 8pcs for the Charger. I would need to call them to confirm if the quote included shipping, but if so, they came in 400 less than AMD
