Noticed that this 914 build had a thicker rear window made, and it got me to thinking about whether that might help with noise in a six-cylinder car when the top's on?
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...7&st=0& Anyone have any experience with this. Is the 914's rear window truly flat, and therefore easy for an automotive glass shop to duplicate? |

The noise reduction is minimal at best. The glass does a very good job of deflecting the sound waves. The only problem with thicker glass is that you run into spacing issues if you go too thick as the roll bar pad has to be able to seat into place and there is not much of a gap there.
