I've always wanted glass ever since day one of my build back in 88 and was glad when Roberto offered the run recently. Even though I'd convinced myself Perspex seemed more appropriate for a GrpIV car the scratches and marks over the years had taken their toll.
Im really pleased with the glass as it matches the windscreen perfectly and the extra weight gives the door a more quality feel, plus the extra weight actually makes it easier to open the windows now as they fall under their own weight rather than having to be pushed down - on mine anyway.
Given the choice it was an easy decision for me.
I still kept my vinyl rain shield which runs along the bottom edge of the glass or perspex, it stops rain running down the outside face straight into the door pockets via the slot for the locking knob. Learnt this the hard way coming back to the car after a show which was pouring down to be greeted by flooded door pockets!
Vince.
