    I have these windows, the rears are direct replacement for the opening originals in my set, and they no longer make a seal with the bodywork, so the rain literally pours in. the product is good, but i dont now if they fit perfect to start and bend over time with windspeed etc or something.

    eitherway, fixed rear windows would be a must imo, i'm looking into getting relaplacements for my rears due to the leaking.

    did you have to drill the holes for the mountings coops?

    i think your ment to use a 1.2 seal and have it fixed in rather than the valver opening mechanism.

    they were fitted to the car when i got them, but yes there are holes in them.

    point am making is the plastics4performance clio window set will come with opening rear glass if its the same i have, the 1.2 fixed glass is smalled, so you'd have to trim them down etc to fit and they may come pre-drilled also, so i'd ask is all!

    also i have spoken to the guy n he says he can make up the smaller 1.2 glass with a template no danger, so am guessin he doesnt stock it/hasnt ever made it.

    either way its worth contacting him to check as mine are pants as they are, cant leave the car uncovered in the rain or the back fills with water!

    if you do find out if he can supply the rears fixed could you see if i can come in on the buy but just for the rears?!

    cheers

    Original rear boot window: 4.71 kgs
    Polycarb rear window: 2.695 kgs.
    Saving = 2.015 kgs

    Not weighed the rear quarters yet but think they would be about 1 kg lighter per side.

    I was just going to make my own, You can buy the sheets from any DIY kinda store.

    The rear would be harder since its Curved, but the sides would be simple i rekon.

    can you PLEASE create a list of who wants them...

    yes you could make them cheaper, but it would take time, poorer quality materials and you would have to bend the rear screen. We all know that.

    Loads of people talk about them... i would like a list of who would like them so i can organize a group discount.

    If you would like smaller 1.2 sized non opening rear quarters please specify.

    Copy the layout i have started please.
