optional side windows instructions

[Chuck Drake]

New-B posting to the forum. This is my 3rd FFR build (roadster, 33 coupe and now a type 65 coupe). I've used the forum for research and information on several occasion. I'm having difficulties installing the Plexiglas into the window frame and hoping someone could share their experience doing this. FFR tech service said it is very hard to do, may want to try putting the gasket on the frame vs. Plexiglas. Did so and still unsuccessful. Not much help. I would appreciate any feedback offered.

Thanks Chuck

I had a glass shop put mine in, did the pay route.

Hey Chuck . . . try the soapy string trick https://www.liveabout.com/install-windshield-rubber-soapy-string-trick-281410

Check yootoob also . . first one that popped up . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvcJ_lU_VpQ

I have use this method many times on older Porsche, VW and Audi windshields, rear windows and rear side windows . . . any window that is held in by the rubber gasket, works well.

You're welcome ;)

I struggled with this a bit, but with some experimentation, was able to get them installed. Documented in my Gen 3 Coupe build thread (link in sig line below) here.
