The New Light Missionary Baptist Church needed some new glass for their 1986 Ford Econoline church van. TeleGlass helps the church’s insurance company with their glass claims, so when this claim was set up, we helped with the arrangements.
According to the best data I could find, less than 19% of the vehicles sold in 1986 are still on the road. Thinking back to my youth group days, I cannot help but wonder if the church vans of the world last longer than average, or if they suffer at the hands of the youth…
Either way, the glass shop called because they couldn’t find the glass they needed to make the repair. It turns out that not only are fewer than one in five vehicles from 1986 still running, but for that Econoline, most of the back glass is stationary. The Church’s van has windows that can be opened and closed on its rear doors. Long story short, the glass shop didn’t think they could do the job.
Rachel didn’t think that was going to work out very well, so she made some calls. She managed to get her hands on the glass they needed and shipped ‘em out, keeping the trusty Ford van in service, maybe for another 23 years?
Good job, Rachel!

In part two of this blog, we will continue where we left off (view part one here). We have gone over the king of all autoglass, the windshield, but let us not forget the other pieces of automotive glass that help make up your vehicle.
Back to the anatomical view of your vehicle, autoglass pieces get their names as if you were sitting in the drivers seat, facing front. This makes anything on the left side of the driver a left glass, and the same for the right. Knowing this is very important to your car glass replacement company. If you should be the unlucky person who needs an autoglass replacement for a piece of glass other than your windshield, knowing the left glass from the right glass will make your auto glass appointment go smoothly.
