Default 84 K5 Blazer Tailgate Window Dimensions

Hi guys

I had an unfortunate incident in my 84 K5 Blazer and my tailgate window shattered. Unfortunately the suppliers in South Africa don't carry a replacement and I will have to have glass cut but need the dimensions. Tried looking online but with no luck.

Is there anyone that can assist me with the dimensions of the rear tailgate window or a template of the tailgate window please, Im desperate!

Thanks!

I think I have an extra rear window in storage somewhere that I could try to pull out sometime this week and get some dimensions off of for you. I hope for your sake that the glass is flat, but I'm thinking that it is not.

*Moving to Fullsize K5 Tech*

*EDIT*

I actually found my spare rear window in my garage attic so I measured it up for you. Here's what I found with some pictures included.

Overall, it's 61" and 20.625" tall. All of the following dimensions are referenced from the lower left corner with the first dimension being the horizontal distance from the left edge and the second dimension being the vertical distance from the bottom edge:
0" -- 7.5" <-- the glass is the full 61" width to this corner where it starts to taper
1" -- 9.875"
2" -- 12.25"
3" -- 14.75"
4" -- 17.125"
5" -- 18.625"
6" -- 19.375"
7" -- 19.813"
8" -- 20.062"
10" -- 20.25"
14" -- 20.375"
18" -- 20.5"
22" -- 20.563"
30.5" -- 20.625"


The pictures should help show the source of these numbers.


Photo 1 of 3 for the upper edge profile dimensioning. All measurements relative to corner of glass in lower left of pictures.

Photo 2 of 3 for the upper edge profile dimensioning. All measurements relative to corner of glass in lower left of pictures.

Photo 3 of 3 for the upper edge profile dimensioning. All measurements relative to corner of glass in lower left of pictures. CL mark denotes centerline of glass.

Also note that the glass has at least a peak of 0.31" across the short dimension. It is flat along the long dimension.

Curvature of glass along 20.625" side. Measures 0.313" at peak.

**EDIT 2**

Another image showing the angle on the side which is roughly 22 degrees, but it still is more of a curve than it is straight even in this area.
