    Asymmetric Gen 3 Coupe side windows

    Just checking to see if anyone has had the same experience. I recently received my side windows and have found that they are very asymmetric. The height of the windows outside edge to outside edge vary by 3/8"(12 1/4" and 11 7/8"). The lower part of the trapezoid varies as well. 1 1/2" on the passenger side and 3/4" on the driver side. The length from lower corners varies by 1/2". I placed tape on these to prevent damaging the powder coat.

    You're assuming the body and doors are perfectly symmetrical. Which in my experience are not. Obviously can't say for sure, but when you try them with the doors installed I bet you'll find they fit OK. Mine did.

    I haven't used the FFR windows, however, I am in the process of developing a roll up window solution, we scanned both sides of our coupe and they are substantially different. We designed for the driver side. then 3 D printed parts to check fit. We also printed a mirror image for the passenger and low and behold...they don't fit.
