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? |

Like duel pane windows in a home. It cuts down on sound coming through the window. 2 pieces with a small space in-between. Ck the rest of things like bad sealing at window.
Seems like more work to try this. Thicker glass, I do not think so. It is the space in-between that does it. Triple glass with space? Try all the other things from the factory. Bob B |
