Default Firebird/Trans Am hatch Glass?????????

I just got my High rise Trans am Hatch today VIA. truck freight, I signed for the package put it off to the side for a half hour (I had it delivered to work) and when I opened up the box I noticed the Glass is shattered . Long story short USF holland said that they cant do anything because it was improperly packaged. I just e-mailed the guy I bought if from (e-bay) and Now am waiting for a responce to see what he has to say.

My Question is..... Is the glass from my stock Formula/Firebird hatch the same size as the Trans am Glass??? If so I know a glass guy real well who would Probably swap the glass for little or no money. Any help would be appriciated.

If I recall, the main diff is that the hatch that comes with the spoiler is exactly the same, you could just switch the spoiler and have the other repainted. Just think about it before switching glass.

Thanks for the responce. I dont want to have do go that Route but at least I have a option now. The guy I bought it from is trying to get the Shipping Company to replace the whole hatch or just the glass
