OK,

So who's got the best solution for getting those rear bars through the window? Remove existing glass sections and then glue and/or screw Lexan sheet(s) to the remaining outer rear window frame?

Anyone get their existing glass laser cut and polished? This sound feasible?

Pictures and/or instructions would be appreciated.

(Yes, I did a search and scarily enough found I was in most of those posts too)

BTW, I think I got a trick set-up for a modified snuglid, if it works I'll post info, if not, I'll have a great 6 ft cutting board, and just have to buy a soft top.

THANK YOU ALL,

HAPPY 4TH WEEKEND

Too bad Eric can't post anymore to tell us about his setup. First example I've seen of pre-emptive banning.

 

I done mine myself,first you got to get a rear slider from an 99back 150 or lightning,the older model windows had glued in glass with a plastic frame you can take a propane torch and a knife and cut the side glass panels off.The newer windows are molded in glass with a metal frame and the can't be removed. I used perceys speed glass which is a scratch proof lexan.Just use your old glass as pattern and cut it with a roto zip or jig saw file it smooth. I glued mine in with a urathane from a glass shop just be sure to use the primer also no need for screws or bolts.

 

Don't forget about BLackBoLT99

BTW, thanks for that thread you posted a while back.

Douglas, only problems I can see with keeping the stock glass is, if it hole isn't big enough, the bars could possibly break the glass from the torque.

I'm going the Lexan route. And hell, I already have the soft cover!

 

Why was he banned? Just wondering...............

 

talk to him on AIM, Lightningboost

 

Thanks everyone, where's a good place to pick up 99 or back recycled window frames, or do most buy new?

Thanks Guys

 

Aw, that guy was a total loser. Good riddance!

 

You can't buy the old style new anymore they have been upgraded to the new style,hit the junkyards

 

Yeah, were did that guy go anyway... I thought he was only gonna be banned for 2 weeks or something?

 

There's always duct tape....works for me. ( Its not finished yet )

If you look at the 2nd pic Rob posted of my truck, you can see what I did. The rear window is lexan, and I had the roll bar guy leave the hole faily tight to the rear bars.

I then went to the auto parts store and bought a piece of radiator hose, and cut it to fill the hole. I had to cut it to go around the bar, but the cut is on the bottom. I then pushed the hose into the hole and filled any remaining gap with clear silicone.

That was just ment to be a temp gasket, but it has been 4 months now, and it has never leaked, so I haven't messed with it.

 

Don, you used a 'pre 2000' window frame too?
