Kevin Patten Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Great news ! I understand that they come slightly oversized and you have to trim them down to fit. Maybe you can share with us what it takes to install them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 When they show up I'll test fit them fo sho. I was also suppoed to take the car back apart and put it on the rotisserie for paint but they still haven't finished the rear end UCA mount.... yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Patten Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Started working on the windows today. Yes there is a lot of fitting that has to be done to put them in. Spent about two hours sanding and fitting the two rear side windows in place and then was able to start drilling the holes for the rivets. They're in place and ready to seal and finish. Need to use a number 11 drill bit for the 3/16" rivets. I'll finish off the side windows tomorrow and then start working on the rear window and straps.

OsirisGT500 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm not doing the rear quarters. Agent 47 naca ducts for me. Test fit the front and rear windows. They fit perfect with no trimming needed. Just need to drill and mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hopefully I'll find the same with the back window as you did but, I'm not taking the roof off to install it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Osiris - My back window fit right in - no trimming! Even with putting in window straps it was a lot easier and faster to do today than the side windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Kick ass! Always so nice for something just to fit when you had planned hours on trimming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPTIC-ARMOR Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm thinking of using Plexus as a cleaner for the lexan - anyone have any other suggestions ? I know this is an old thread but wanted to clarify, all you need to clean our windows is a standard glass cleaner such as windex or invisible glass. Plexus will just smear around on the our windows due to our applied hard coating. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
