    I’m looking forward to seeing the video that covers installation of the new seals around the edges of the side curtain as that’s where I am on mine and frankly I’m a bit stumped!

    It was interesting watching you make your own panels for the windows. I didn’t even think about that option. I just bought the kit from the Bugeye Guys.

    I looked at buying ready made ones but this way saved a few dollars.

    Ian, the new acrylic panels are going to look brand new once they area finished. Opening/Closing will be much easier.

    Looking good, have you driven with the top up yet? The side panels will keep the wind off you for sure. Just drove our Midget with the top up and it was pretty claustrophobic, LOL.

    Won't be long before I find out! I did drive it around the block with the top up. Had to figure out a new set of contortions to get in the car :)
