[TR] TR3 side curtain windows

[Karl Vacek]

At two years old when I bought it, the front sidecurtain windows on TSF130L 
felt a little stiffer than rear-window material.  The local top shop had 
something that was identical to replace them - they scratched quick if you 
drove the car every day and opened the windows every drive without washing 
them first.  Because they weren't completely flat, they rubbed on the plexi 
window when sliding it open, scratching it too.
