I hope this all doesn't deter you from continuing your effort in this endeavor. I'm really looking forward to ordering a set in a few months when I put my car in the body shop
Mee too.
At first - I thought- flush mount? So what?
I like my qtr glass with all that rubber and trim around it. (Not)
But the more I looked at these - the cooler they look.
They're sooo ..what's the word? Not 80's?
It's not like 10 other people are doing this.
We're pretty fortunate to have someone willing to take on the challenge.
Big challenge that it is.
Growing pains.
Not that it helps the poor folks who's cars' are ready for windows.
But - unless I missed something - it seems you could (gently) install temporarily a stock style QTR glass section without the elephant $hit - with just the rubber gasket - just to get you by for a bit .
I'd go so far as to use some foam tape on the backside to protect the new paint and maybe add an extra seal.
And stay out of the rain. As if any self respecting TR owner would ever think of driving their car if there was even a chance of rain.
Not that it's a fun fest to take the sail panel off - but it ain't the worst thing in the world.
I realize though perhaps some body work or finish might / need to be done to make the flush mount perfect.
Heck - were it me -and I was really waiting on the windows - I might consider fabbing up a template of plexi and bolting it in temporarily with some decent looking black button heads. NASCAR style!
Do your body finish - then swap when the windows get delivered.
If they don't - get out the ole elephant $hit for your stockers and reinstall. No harm - no foul.
Sometimes, the stars don't line up exactly with the plan.
I too wish they would have that little vent type / flip out lever though!
Now that would be cool!
