I have the magazine at home.....it's unbelieveable inside too.....work so well done that the owner did not add a roof lining and it's perfectly smooth!!!!!

I loved it when I saw it in the mag!!!!!

Yes
Is there anything you dont have?

So spill the beans, do you like it? ease of installation? does it work well? do the girls like you more?

You need a few things to make one piece windows work properly
Most important is the Double runners with the pieces that hold the glass from a 67Bug
These things are Chicken teeth
With out these you waste your time
Then a std chrome beading surround to do edging on
Scraper rubber to fit on the chrome surround to edg it off nice
And
And

And atleast 2 days to have the patience to do it Right

I must admit The FLy has one piece in but still not properly finished off
The glass does not flop around due to the double runners
But the finishing touches on the rubbers is not done right :oops:

So just a word of Advice It looks alot easier as it is and a shit load of work
This is one job I always run as fast as I can away

I run the one piece kit in my 68' - Did it a while back and still get annoyed when i see the finishes - bending the new window seats round the top of the door didn't work out so well

Awesome though on a nice warm sunday afternoon cruise !
