It’s kinda a shame, in the old days you’d chop a car & cut glass to fit, now with tempered glass you have to chop the car around the glass which many times limits you stylistically. Here is a video of Winfield sinking the rear window on a Ford Starliner chop, his part starts around 7:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-x-PxVjqB4
Hope this helps. ~ John Buchtenkirch
