Hi, Buds,

Be very careful when buying used Plexiglas for the GT. You might be getting a "deal" with a dead end attached.

New Plexiglas gulls and rears require trimming to fit each car. Once the trimming is done, the outlines of the parts you buy will be fitted to the previous owner's car, and may not match yours as closely as you'd like.

Worse, it's extremely unlikely that the holes drilled in the Plexiglas for the hinges, window clips and driver's door lock will be anywhere close to where they need to be to accept your hinges, clips and lock so they engage properly. Same goes for the handle holes, in case you're using them.

Drilling new holes in the Plexiglas leaves the unused holes visible, ugly and a definite problem for weather entry and heater/air-co sealing in the cabin. Filling the holes with clear sealant is a partial solution, but if you're a perfectionist, not an entirely acceptable one; you'll still see the holes.

The alternative to drilling new holes in the Plexiglas is to relocate the hinges on the T-top, and the spring-clips and lock striker in the cabin interior. Obviously, doing that will also leave visible holes in your T-top and upholstery panels where the hinges, clips and striker plate were originally mounted.

I wouldn't tell anyone not to buy good parts, but when it comes to Plexiglas parts for the GT, it's a good idea to see the parts in person and check them for fit against your own car before buying them "blind" and paying to have them packaged and shipped.

It's possible that asking the seller to make a paper template of each Plexiglas part could be a somewhat reassuring solution. You could check the template against your car to see how good/poorly the new parts will fit. It's doubtful that the fit of so many variables in three different pieces will be exactly the same, but they may be close enough for the mounting flanges of the metal parts to conceal the old holes -- or reasonable elongations of the holes if they're really close.

Buying blind with used Plexiglas gulls and rear windows is touchy. You could end up either very happy or very disappointed, but you won't know which it is until you've already spent your time and money.

Warmest regards,
