    Looking for ideas for side windows

    Hi all,

    I am looking for ideas for side windows for my coupe. Since I have door handles, I only need a solid piece of fiberglass for the side window. Since I can't roll them up or down, I am looking for ideas of removable side windows that could be removed easily and stored in the hatch. Any thoughts or pictures would be helpful.

    Thanks

    If you end up going with plastic and designing something for yourself these guys can make it (and they're Canadian):

    I used rivnuts to mount my FFR side windows. No issues after 4 years of driving.

    John,

    Are you using FFR side windows with steel frame?

    Hi Earl,

    Looking to have something that I remove and put back in place quickly or at least fairly fast.

    I have this same desire. I have a design in my head, but probably won't get to that point until fall.

    Anyone know where I can source a set of coupe window frames? (not the plastic, JUST the metal frame?)

    My idea was to get marine plastic and make them to fit using snaps or velcro. Then they could be rolled up and thrown in the back when not in use.
    Haven't done it yet but, will when ready.
