Polycarbonate windows

[Codling]

Anyone know a good supplier ?

Many thanks

plastics4performance will make flow formed windows and can even give them the same green tint as the OEM glass.

[Codling]

So they won't have the little hole then and run up and down on the standard runners ?

Not sure where I said that?

They can make them whatever shape you want, flow forming means they can make glass that is curved like the OEM stuff.

You'll need to specify the special coating if you want them to go up and down so as to reduce scratching, not sure if it is possible to have that and the green tint though, and even then I imagine they'll look tatty quite quickly and I wouldn't be too sure on how well they'd seal in the door apature without trying it.

Ask for the black border on the rears too as per OEM.

You replacing all the glass on yours then? I have a CSL rear screen that I want rid of assuming I can find it, I've actually got a full set of glass but assume you don't want to go that route for weight reasons?

Sorry mate looked on their site and assumed they didn't have the hole in.

Well the car I bought ( as I'm sure you know has a bad history ) rear windows don't seem to seal well, now that maybe just because I'm missing something. So decided I defo want them polycarbonate and I'll seal them all the way round. As for the rear mines seen better days due to smoke damage, so how much you looking for it ( I assume it's a csl screen ? )

Cheers

call it 50% of what they cost new?

They will make you up whatever you want, probably best to get them a real window as a template though if they don't have a full window with mounting for mechanism, they may already have templates for what you want (certainly will have rear quarters without issue with correct back border placement).

How much are they new ? I'll give them a bell tomorrow, don't need them just yet as it's not being painted just yet but I'm getting everything ready :smokin:

Nathan, just ordered some for a customer and they delivered in 2 weeks, so not bad right now but the off season gets very Busy for them and delays can go to 6+ weeks.
