[TR] TR3 side curtain windows

[Michael Lang]

I have been trying to decide if I want to ship them to TRF and have them
redone to original spec's or have a have a local shop rebuild them. The
local shop has done dozens of them over the years, but they don't
install the original style fixed window. They do something similar to
what John has suggested below.

I have been restoring my car to drive rather than to trailer to shows so
I am always looking for alternatives to make it a little more enjoyable.

Thanks everyone for the input! I have got the information that I need to
make a decision.

When my thin/flexible fixed window popped out driving down the interstate, I decided to fix it the way my 58 MGA after market side curtains were.  I went down to my local Home Depot & bought a thin but rigged piece of plexiglass cut it to shape and glued it in place.
