Rear quarter windows

Post by Mrbaboon1985 »

Me again!

I want to cover the rear quarter windows. I've seen some louvres with capri club but I can't see fittings anywhere. Has anyone used these or come up with an alternative for those that adopted that approach?

Thoughts?

Thanks

Lol I don't want to go that extreme haha. Just find it off CCI sell them but not with fixings! Wasn't sure if anyone else had encountered fitting them or alternatives.

Have you got a picture with them on?

You need to contact Autoplas. There is a man (yes, singular) there that has been working there for 900 years. He is the only person that can get them and the only person who will know what you are on about.

Mmmm they look pretty cool . I have a 2.4 X 1.2m² sheet of 3mm thick fibreglass and the plan is to make a set of louvers for the rear screen,....might have to make some sideburns too.
I had contact with the capri club about louvers and they told me they do make them but they were pretty crappy and I wouldnt like them ........great sales pitch :lol:
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh
