Fitting Poly Carb Window To Fibre Glass Rear Hatch

[Spiky 37]

obvisouly the two main ones are

 

polyurenthene sealant

nut and bolt

 

but there's not much thickness to the lip on the rear hatch, so worried it might not be strong enough

[Batfink 201]

use sealant and rivets.

[welshpug 1,657]

sealant and nylon nuts and bolts, wouldn't use rivets, chances of cracking the screen and tailgate are rather high with that method.

[Spiky 37]

yeah, not liking the rivets options, would brake the poly carb and the hatch i think

 

nylon nuts and bolts? mmm would that be secure enough?

 

granted i dont park it anywhere mine, and the first place it's going to be left is this weekend in germany

[welshpug 1,657]

I would think so, standard screens are just bonded.

 

are you fitting the o.e spoiler?

[Spiky 37]

ah true, should be fine then

 

not thought about the spoiler to be honest,

 

i guess so, will take the one of my OE hatch,

 

any reason for asking?

Aren't the spoilers held on by screws? Might break the hatch?

[welshpug 1,657]

yeah that's what I was meaning, take care with those screws.

[Spiky 37]

you mean fitting on FG hatch, or careful removing it from OE hatch?

[welshpug 1,657]

both

[Spiky 37]

maybe i'll just glue it on with polyuthrene sealant then
