So the rear 1/4s need rivetting in?

I was under the impression that they would just fit into the std rubbers?

Or is it just the rear screen that needs rivetting in?

Do you have any pics of the work Jr?

cheers for info.

my poly windows are coming from plastics4performance and will be using the standard rubbers and the sealant that they supply with the kit. Will be getting a friendly window fitter to do mine.

fronts will have the door rubers sealed and bonded into the door frame and the windows bonded into the seals (using windscreen sealant) with sliders for openers.

Oh and Dave, what spec are you getting?

I mean the material?

Just getting std sizes, or are they slightly larger to fit the rubbers?

Mark, got 2 sets of Flexiglass windows coming in soon from plastics4performance, come in at £220 + vat for a complete kit inc sliders and formed rear windows. Will be getting some bonding stuff and probably a window fitter to fit them, may have someone lined up to do it.

If you want a set let me know asap and I can try and get them all fitted together to save cost. Order tham by friday and I will do a 7.5% discount on them as well

(total of £240 delivered)

Thats bang on Dave.

£240 delivered, i will have some of that!

Fitting costs, any ideas?

Just trying to sort cash out for carbon doorcards & other carbon bits at same time!

Car is still in bits, and will be going to paintshop this weekend, but dont have a time scale for it coming out as its a favour.

So, any urgency on fitting?

i have the plastics for performance kit in mine with sliders on both sides, get the formed rear screen or youll have a mare of a job fitting the rear screen in, fronts are easy to fit, rears i used proper window bond to bond them in, couldnt get the rear std rubbers on, windows were slightly to large, so i didnt bother using them, could have trimmed the windows but then it meant more time....
