Right, got a bit of a dilemma.
2 doors - no inner material and have been allready previously fitted with polycarbs with sliders.
Now, i need to rectify this. Normal glass will not go back in, nor will there be anything to attach mechanisms to.
I do not really want to bin the doors.
The car won't be kept in a garage all the time, so security is an issue (sliders)
Anyone got any bright ideas !? a big single solid sheet of polycarb !? is that legal ? Any type of locking sliders !?
Thanks , Nick
Could you not weld in a couple of supports for the winders and put normal glass back in?
Like you've said, just get them without sliders. Will be a pain in the **** at the Maccy D's drive thru tho lol lol
nah, it'd have to be a single peice of glass as the mullion in the door has been removed.
im sure i've seen some pop-open kinda scoop vents you can put on.
Geordie-chris - It's a solution but not ideal. it'l be ****ing roasting in the summer too.
just get polycarb's, but with only with 4 holes, instead of one big one if they do them...
i know it's a corsa, but you may be able to get this style for a nova?

you can source the poly carbs from ACW motorsport:

Nice site. They seem to think the above will be adequate for road use.

Yeah the kits are around , thanks for the link.
I'm just more worried about moisture/security as the car will spend time kept outside.
moisture shouldnt be a problem, as im 99% sure they slide up the original window rubbers, just silicon then in or something?
same with any window, not hard to break a normal glass window either, so will be just the same :)
Surely the sliders wouldn't be waterproof though, as it's just plastic on plastic.
Not sure I'd trust polycarb fronts on a road car that's left ungaraged.
Yeah this is the problem.
It's the actual Slider system that's gonna be the weak point, or the thing that lets the moisture in.
I can just source doors, but i'd rather keep the current ones.
depends what your area's like really, if too much of a concern, sell the doors and find some with the winders in, only thing you can do
hmm. locking waterproof sliders !?
Think it's gonna be doors :(
For your own safety id settle with a new set of doors chap.
