    Glass bending is different from glass cutting. Bending can be done but is tricky and not really an at home process

    Glass cutters don't curve glass. Unless you have a special glass cutter I've never seen before.

    I feel like I've said this numerous times already, but the problem here is the curvature of the original glass. That specific model of cap uses curved rear glass, it's not like other models that used a flat back glass. The ONLY way to get properly-sealing curved glass is borrowing from a donor shell.

    This is my last post in the thread: I would not buy this cap. Even for $50. The rear glass, if anything other than a donor replacement with curved glass, will NEVER SEAL PROPERLY.
