chopping a 31 model a slant window 4 door sedan. I started to take 4 inchs. Got the doors and quater panels done. I am afraid if i take 4 inchs out of the back window it will be to much. Any one move the window closer to the belt line???? Looking for some feed back or opinions.
 
Hopefully this may help. I chopped my GMC 6" but I didn't want a mail slot back window so I only took 3" out of it. You can see in the pictures how you include the bottom of the window in the section to be removed, then take the desired amount out of the window and slide the loose lower portion of the window into place. I am no Model A expert by any means but maybe this will work for ya. Good luck!

Heres the same thing but different. I didnt want a little slit for a rear window either so I only took 3" out of it too. Because of the location of the cut I put a jag in it but the outcome is the same.
