I am restoring the sliding window side curtain windows for my Bugeye, and have a few questions. I am hoping some of you have done this operation.
1) The frames have a wider flat side, and a smaller channel side. I think the wider side faces out, but I'm just not sure. Which side faces in and which side faces out?
2) Which window is installed exterior to the other one? Does the half with the rounded corner (the rear section) sit on the inside or outside of the other section? It seems like the forward section (the piece with two sharp points) should be on the outside in order to keep rain and wind out when in forward motion. Is that correct?
3) Is it important to install one of the window sections before the other one? Perhaps the answer to #2 above will tell me this, since the outer piece would need to go in first (since the windows need to be installed from the inner side of the frames).
4) The little acrylic tabs used to push and pull the windows open came seperate from the windows. Both appear to be acrylic. Any suggestions on a good transparent glue to use to attach them to the window?

P.S. I LOVE THE RALLY BASIL!!!
