fitting polycarb windows

[darren1wright]

Has anyone fitted rear quarter glass windows ??

I was wondering weather to bond them in or use nuts and bolts with damming tape.

With damming tape they can be removed easier without damage... Well other than the bolt holes.

Ideas people ???

My mate works for national windscreens he made and fitted mine for £40 iirc. .

 

[darren1wright]

Well I wish I knew someone who worked for national windscreend. Lol

 

[Chi]

Didn't look like rocket science tbh.. If you have the windows I'd bond them.. screwing would rattle if I understand what your saying. .

 

[darren1wright]

That's the idea of the damming tape, it's sticky and water tight as far as I am aware. So you put that on where you would be bonding and bolt it too. I'd bolt it even if I was bonding too.

 

[Chi]

Why bolt and bond?

 

[darren1wright]

Safety and over precaution for if I have my son sat in the back.

I regularly see a national windscreens van parked up down my road. I am going to ask him if he can fit my polocarbonate windows (when I eventually buy some)

 

[darren1wright]

They are a piece of piss to fit it's just I'm not sure what route to take. If I want to put the car back to standard at any time damming tape and bolts is the best way. As long as it is water proof.

 

[Chi]

Bonding is easy enough to get off.. my mate used a blade

 

[darren1wright]

Sod it I will bond and bolt it lol

I always thought the OEM glass was a b**ch to remove?

 

[darren1wright]

I didn't say removing it was easy.

 

[Nick172Cup]

For the price it costs to have someone remove the glass and bond the polycarbs in, I'd just have a specialist do it.

Wouldn't bother bolting them either, with the right bonder they'll be perfectly fine and won't look s**t.

 

[darren1wright]

I really like the bolts lol I am a panel beater so I already have a firm to cut the glass out and they can bond it too. I just like the bolted in look.

 

[Chi]

The tool to remove/cut the bonding is about £8 on eBay. .

Seems like you have already made your mind up, so why ask. Bolted look is rubbish, haven't even done that on the race car.

 

[darren1wright]

I asked about the damming tape if you read it properly. Personally I couldn't give a rat's ass about your race car.

Wow, so you're a c**t.

 

[darren1wright]

No I just responded honestly.

I asked a question and just wanted an answer.

Really?

 

[Chi]

To be fare I think you like your idea as it's something your familiar with and you want everyone to agree it's a good idea.

[darren1wright]

Ha ha sadly I'm not that single minded.

Hense asking for IDEAS !!??

If someone said that damming tape was s**t and bonding was the best was... GREAT.

Same as bolts... I like the look and safety of them but do agree it is a bit ott.

 

[Tony Hunter]

No I just responded honestly.

I asked a question and just wanted an answer.

And I gave you one, but not the one you wanted to hear by the sounds of it.


Go bonding then.

 

[darren1wright]

Especially as its only on a rarely used track car.

 

[Tony Hunter]

You said about having a child in the back?

 

[darren1wright]

I just didn't appreciate the tone to be fair.

 

[Fraser.J.]

What about the fronts? What's the best way to fit them?

 

[darren1wright]

Never mind were all big boys here and I for one ain't offended by forum banter.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Pot and kettle.

I could have said much worse tbf.

 

[darren1wright]

So could I tbf

Really?

 

[darren1wright]

Looks like your in the right place to ask. Last person I asked had fitted them in the rubber as usual and made a bracket up to hold them up at the bottom of the window...

I may be wrong though.

 

[darren1wright]

You said about having a child in the back?

Yeah... I'm my daily ever gives up I will have to do the nursery run in the cup. I am keeping it taxed and mot'd just not insured.

My daily is a golf tdI with 190k on it.

It's got to die soon lol

 

[sburrell93]

You realise that any car that's taxed and not SORN'd in the uk needs to be insured right?

 

[darren1wright]

You realise that any car that's taxed and not SORN'd in the uk needs to be insured right?

Yep.

 

[sburrell93]

Yep.

So you're getting around that how exactly?

 

[darren1wright]

Driving around with no insurance. Speeding through housings estate. Playing music very loud and running from the police when they try to catch me.


NO .....

I am leaving it sat in my garage.

Tbh it's a stupid law if you ask me.

There's no way I am sending my tax disc back for two months that's left on it and I don't need it insured as I won't be using it hopefully till Feb or March.

Hope this answers your question copper.
