Mk1 Perspex Windows

[knightenvironmental]

Hi, I'm thinking of fitting Perspex door glass to my 2 door mk1 with sliders. I'm going no to use single piece without the quarter window. Does anyone know if I have to gut through the 2 welded joint that join the outside and inside sections of the door at the quarter light end? Thanks

I presume that you're talking about the strip where the 1/4 light sits? You should only need to cut that if the Perspex window is too deep to fit with it there.

Yes it's the two strips where the quarter fits. There is no Wayne can get the Perspex in with them there And wondered what others have done.

They have been cut out of the doors on my race car which uses 1 piece Perspex windows.

Great thanks. Does it effect the stability of the doors or are they still solid?

Mine are held in with stuff from my local windscreen fitters, it's what they use on rear glasses in Volvos etc and comes on a roll.

Any pics or links please ? is it just typical rubber stripping or does it have any aluminium strip ?

You shouldn't have to cut the front quarter light channel out of the door anyway.
There's a bolt/screw in the bottom of it and 1 or 2 pop rivets that hold it to the main top frame of the door.
