Tractor dealer ordered my door and I had it in 4 days via UPS. Company has a warehouse in the TX. panhandle and had 20 in stock. Lady love and I installed it yesterday morning and I sweat blood the whole time knowing that I didn't want to shatter it and have to cough up another $640. Was VERY careful but with 2 people, one inside and one outside, it went very well.
The door is definitely in tension and thinking about it, when you close and seal the door, the sealing process works against the tension that exists between the glass and the frame. That relieves the tension somewhat yet keeps pressure on the seal. I also sprayed silicon all over the door to tractor sealing surface so that when the door is opened, it all turns loose equally.
One thing for sure. I WILL pay more attention to my cab doors in the future and will not use my 2" open brackets any more.
Noticed some threads on other sites about what kind of glass is in tractor cabs. Mine has Tempered all around, says so on the glass. No laminate for the windshield. Tempered works fine. When the sucker shattered, I was sitting 1' from it and none of it fell on me.
