I'm looking for a good way to make my side windows removable, (and thus easy to interchange)
Now, I know people have done this already, but I cant find any info on it.
Can anyone help?

not sure how you did your windows, but mine are removable, they are screwed to the door with 4 M6 plasic screws that can be removed by hand im my case. that is pretty much the factory setup. I am in the process of doing a hardtop that will go over the side windows and keep them in place even at insane speeds.

I haven't fitted my side windows yet.
what I want is a system with witch I can easely click them in and out. (without screws) something with pins going in the door maybe...
Do I hear you´re working on a hardtop?
the reason I want the rem.win. is because I want to build a hardtop too!
I'd love to see some pics and idears, maybe we could help each other.

there is already a big pin in the front that goes into the door. I am using this special screws of plastic that need no tools to tighten. 4 screws not a big deal.
Yes I am working on a hardtop, this week I will shape the bulkhead then laminate it and then laminate the roof right on the car. Once I have these 3 pieces we will start on the mould.

sounds exelant!

I'd love to see some picture, if I may
And of the window as well ?
Without risking to overstay my welcome ...

I'm thinking of a targa style roof, with 2 triangles behind the side windows.
rear window will be easy, since the rollbar is already in the bulkhead.

Another question I still have is, how dificult it is to get is the car with the softtop on.? (I have never tried this)
I imagine it must be a thight, since I already have problems getting into a GTR.

The canam with the roof up is much more difficult to get in than a GTR... some people physically couldnt do it when they tried to get in mine!

aaah!
So, not much chance for me then, with my 2345 years of age, bad back and impressive beer gut...
Spatz we must be on the same page, cause I was thinking along those lines as wel.
Only it's going to be much harder to build, and I wonder if its worth the trouble.
It will be harder to get waterproof as wel.
