I know its mostly the track novas and full on garaged show cars that have these but what are they like security wise?

Can any passer by just slide the plastic along from the outside? or are they difficult to open?

Any help would be great

They can be broken by hand, or even removed if someone knows what they're doing..... But then again, you can do that with any nova!

Yeah but if some dick poured petrol in and fired it up, your alarm ain't gonna help!

And I'm sure your insurers would be interested to know. If you read the terms and conditions of your policy, you are required to lock the car at all times, wind up the windows and ensure the security of the vehicle...

I won't fit them because they're not water tight and they're noisy and rattle!

its not for looks :roll: :wall:

polycarb weighs about half that of glass, coupled with the fact it wont shatter, and is hittable without it breaking... eg lob a brick at a polycarb window in a nova and youll scratch the surface but it wont break the pane ;)

ok the sliders are a security flaw but meh, if you move your lock pins and door opener then they wont be able to do much with their arm in anyway...

BUT could easily put dog $hit or petrol or whatever through the open hole!

The major security falw is that the sliders are bolted on from the outsidelol

P**s sliders just drill a few holes when it gets a bit hot then a bit of clear silcone to block the holes when it gets a bit colder!! J.D? Obviously im joking!!
