That's a good point about the glass.....it's going to stick up about 2" from the door even when it's fully rolled down!!!

As long as there's room in the door to lengthen the stock regulator, that one seems solveable.

In your photos, it looks like in addition to cutting down the door tops you also cut off the entire A-pillar area from the door. (where the vent wing would have gone)... Is that correct, or just something odd with the photo itself?

I don't plan to cut that part of my doors off....I will need that to stabilize the glass as much as possible. There is certainly a risk of breaking the glass because of how vulnerable and unsupported it can be. However, like most of you I plan to leave them down 99% of the time anyway. I'd only roll them up if I got caught in some bad weather or something like that.


BTW -> The feedback and help provided in this thread (and a few others) have already proven to be extremely valueable to me.....so I decided to pony up the $25 for a membership to show my appreciation!

"Pink" wasn't my color anyway......
