No. Squarebird vent glass and frames are unique.

No. None of the glass from a Fairlane will fit a Squarebird. However any auto glass shop can make the door and vent glass easily since it's flat.

I agree, Richard. Tempered glass is far better and can be the same thickness. It won't yellow or deteriorate in the middle layer.
Who is that vendor we were using in California... Bob's classic auto glass, I think, or something like that. He had tempered Squarebird glass in stock, and in different tints. - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution

I'm going to have to replace a lot of the glass in the restoration process, so it a consensus that the tempored glass is the way to go. Guess when I order it, I can go either way. Some of the glass sites I have checked seem to have the straight pieces fairly resonably. The windshield is the killer price wise.

Vent wing glass
Dave has it right. Bob's Classic Auto Glass. Here is the link from the Advertisements Forum. He is in Oregon, but he has a warehouse in LA. Once you click on this link, click on the link within this and it will take you to more comments about his company.

Tempered vs. Laminated Glass
I agree, Richard. Tempered glass is far better and can be the same thickness. It won't yellow or deteriorate in the middle layer.

Just thought I would pass this along.

Glad Bob was nice. I found him that way as well. He let me know that glass is not cheap to ship. At the time, I just needed one vent window. He sent the second one for the same price as one.
So, how many vent window pieces should be 'on hand', and in what tint? It's much easier to do this as orders come in. Otherwise, they may wait years with superfluous parts in storage. Bob does glass for all the classic cars. - DaveMember, Sons of the American Revolution

Auto City Classic has the windshield, tinted and shaded, for $399 + S/H. Great price, but since they are in MN, the shipping would kill me. It's a good deal for any of you Midwest, Eastcoasters.
Going to stick with Bob's since I can pick up the glass and avoid s/h.
