Perspex front slider windows?

[stevei]

Gonna have a go at making my own set. Just ordered the perspex. The rubber seal to use is confusing me slightly. What have people used in he past? I'm thinking of a Corsa one maby. Gonna have a route round the scrap yard on friday to see what might do the job.

I've marked out the window, this is the sort of size i'm after for the hole.
20mm width X 220 height

Any ideas on the rubbers to use will be helpful. I'm gonna post up how it goes in my project thread when i have everything i need

cheers

use pug 206 rubbers

a corsa c outer lower seal that goes on the door window joint and a punto mk1 inner seal.

I hope you havent ordered perspex.... you'll be wanting polycarb.

Mine (all 5 and the sliders and holes being lasercut) cost me under £100

Cheers for the heads up Paul as just about to fit my set to the new shell.

stuart i know what you mean about polycarb, it is the best to use. but i can get really good quality perspex for free! so iv'e gone for that.

paul, that sounds like a plan, cheers for that. i'll ring up pug now see how much the channel rubbers are.

hmmmm Free +shards of plastic flying at you when you break them.... or pay a bit and get polycarb that will (if it does indeed break) not stab you viciously... tough choice lol

Probably lots tbh mate, you might strike it lucky in a scrappers as there will be loads of flood damaged cars available at the mo!

[stevei]

Paul, where did you get your set from? Under £100 is a bargain! Looking to get a set myself at the mo..
