Rear Quarter Windows For Track Car

[dommorton 0]

My track car has the standard pop out glass in at present, but has been leaking terribly in this mad rain we've been having.

 

I've tried to find some base model fixed glass and rubbers for a quick fix but to no avail

 

Now considering just cutting out some cardboard templates then making some kind of sealed plastic windows.

 

I figured the best way would be to have base model fixed window rubbers (although I can't find any!) as this will seal best and hold the plastic in place.

 

Otherwise I can perhaps cut them oversized and just seal them straight to the frame with silicone?

Buy the rear screens in polycarbonate from people like plastics4performance (i think there's a group buy going on) and buy the rubbers new from the dealer.

 

If you have existing rear 1/4 screens (base model type), I have some clear poly carb here I can sell you for not a lot and you can cut it yourself to size

That's the problem. I don't have the base model glass or rubbers to work out the size and shape reqd.

 

Didn't really want to spend a bomb as the whole car is on a tight budget.

well its not all lost, i have cut a set of rear 1/4 windows myself using the frame as a reference, it's no big deal. The rubbers depth mask any issues

 

So defo the cheapest option is to buy the poly i have in the shed, I wont want a lot for it, certainly a lot cheaper than a cut set from a supplier. the rubbers arent very expensive really
