Thanks in advance
Pat

	I wanted to put safety glass on my old YJ because I kept cracking the windshield in the woods but all the windshield companies said there were liability issues by not putting DOT approved winshields in. You can try a glass and mirror place but thy will praobably need a template and you install it yourself.

	I didnt really mean safety glass, I am looking for DOT approved automotive glass. I have no problem installing it myself, but I felt that I shouldnt have to pay almost $300 for a flat piece of glass. My old suburban glass is curved, way larger and, tinted and only cost $150. installed at my house with a brand new gasket.

	Pat, Tempered is what you are talking about I think. I tried to get a piece cut for our red CJ-7 once and nobody would do it because it would just shatter. I don't know what to tell you there man. When do you need it by?
