An update:

In Mid-November, Classic Industries got back to me.
After sending the pictures to AMD and reviewing my case
they sent me a FULL refund for the glass and the original freight.

It took a while,,, I had to provide proof to CI that
the glass they sent me was destroyed (So I wouldn't try to resell for profit I guess)...
So I took it to the junk yard and had my daughter film me
whilst I threw it over the wall...

Although time consuming and frustrating as hell...
Classic Industries stood by their satisfaction warranty/guarantee.
They didn't hide behind it like so many parts vendors do.
That (to me) speaks volumes about them and their business.

The customer service rep who handled my case
was extremely helpful and was prompt returning emails/texts/phone calls.
as well as staying in touch with AMD throughout the process.
I won't publish his name on a public forum without his permission,
but if any of you want it send me a PM.

There are several very pricey parts that CI carries that I will need in the not to distant
future....Based on this experience, I will certainly keep using them.

Hope this helps
Good luck with your projects
