Side Curtain Re-Conditioning ???

[George Zeck]

Hi All -

A few thousand miles this summer and having fun. 2 car show in the next 3 weeks. Life is good.

Getting to consider wilt he amazing performance of my car in doin gsomething drastic - now that I've jinxed myself - drive out of state.

These drive are multi-hours and have never worried about trivial items as roof or windows.

Anyone have luck doing it themselves? Kinda seems as if some home cheapo weatherproofing would work (< $5) vs. $50 - $60 to our friends @ Moss.

Any comments are appreciated.

Tx-

Geo

Hi George,

What exactly do you mean by re-conditioning? Replacing the plexiglass or the rubber strip around the edge? I just replaced my plexiglass with Lexan and used Moss stuff for the strip.

Consider Lexan over Plexi, and thin black felt from the yardage store was cheap.
A dab of black silicone in the bottom of the slot at the felt ends keeps everything in place.

But do go for the real stuff from Moss for around the outside. Beleive me it is much easier.

I specifically meant the rubber on the botton. I can trace out the windows. Isn't $50 kinda crazy for the rubber on the bottom to use 1X per year ??

(Or am I just "economically sound")????

Well, its a littler less than $50 for the pair - PM me.

Not only that but the bottom rubber is hooked to the sides and the top. Cast all in one peice.

Anybody know how easy the Lexon is to cut?

 

[jlaird]

Easy with a saber saw.

 

[longbridgehealey]

cut and sand edges?

 

[jlaird]

Aye, lexon works with wood tools.

Good deal - thanks, Jack!

I took my old pieces to a local sign shop and had them cut Lexan that matched. The did a great job.

Seems to me that you can cut it with a good pair of tin snips also. If it's the 1/8" stuff.

For a good clean cut, your sign-shop used a circular saw with the right blade, I'm sure!!! (Nice straight cuts with the circular saw as opposed to a saber saw!!)
