Re: [DML] Side Windows

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob, since you've removed/re-engineered the side window glass you might be able to
answer this, but I'll put the question out to all:

Is it a practical modification to have removable side glass?

Right now, they're glued in, but couldn't a rubber seal be installed with some sort of
latching attachment inside?  The windows could be removed and stowed for nice weather,
like T-tops, but quickly replaced if necessary.

The obvious problem is that the doors are up in the air when opened, so that the
remove/install procedure would need to be done from inside the car with the doors
closed.  Tricky.
