mine are p4p, rear 1/4s and rear screen.

fit is second to none as they are curved like the original glass etc.

do the job



if you do get polycarb windows, make sure you space them out about 4mm from the window frames or they look odd

yeah, got the edges in black.

as for fitting, i was having a new front screen fitted and mentioned to the RAC fitter that i had them, he said he would fit them too lol.

no rubber trim on them, and the little metal bits on the rear quarters ha been ground off by the bodyshop. the RAC chap had this foam strip that he cut up into about 1.5 inch lengths, and stuck them on to the body, then gunned the sealent round and fitted the windows

yes the rear quarters are curved too

and your welcome lol

no worries, it may pay you to ring up a windo fitters and see how much they will charge to fit them for you.

or see if anyone on here can do it for you. i know thrush is a fitter, but dont know where he lives in relation to you.
