I have made another home made rear window for my car and i need some new rubber trim for the window. Did Bradley use standard moulding from say a VW beetle or something to that affect or this a figure it out on your own type thing?
First window i made from lexan and it eventually cracked and broke where the screw holes and latches were. This one i made from thin plexi about 3/16". I dont plan to use the stock latches for this one as im sure it will quickly crack and break as well. My plan is to make two long strips of sheet metal maybe 1-1/2" wide and sandwich the top of the plexi between the two strips. Drill over sized holes through the plexi then lightly screw the sheet metal and plexi in place along the top lip of the window mount. I will still have to figure out something simple to hold the bottom of the window down but that shouldnt be a major problem.
