Anyone try this or know how to go about doing it. I think it would look really good having all one piece window compared to having the wing part.

QUOTE(boxstr @ Oct 24 2004, 01:50 PM) I have been thinking about this for a longtime. Look at the VW bugs, they have the Calif look by getting rid of the wing windows. You can buy the complete kit. I thought maybe you could use the existing window, chop the front guide off at the top of the door, retain the piece that you cut off and when you roll the window up you could slide it into place giving the stock window a guide to rest in. CCLINGASFORGLASS We used to do a lot of bug work a few years back. Those bug one piece window kits may look good, but they don't work worth a damn. Can you say "kludge" . They srick, they're hard to roll up and down, they get crooked, the felts come out of the doors, and they overload the mechanisms. Oh, they rattle. other than that, they're not too bad ..............
