Oh, Jim,
I see you are using glass replacements! If they are like mine,
they are thicker than plexi. I still remember Tom Hall telling me
the technique:
Remove the factory rubber seal.
Put electrical black tape around the edge of the new glass.
Install in frame (pop rivet in).
Take a razor blade or exacto and cut tape at the metal frame,
peal off the excess.
Re install in the top
Like I said in the last email, they look great after thirty years.

Hi Jim,
I replaced mine with Tom Hall/STOA glass in the 1975-1979
timeframe but they still look great...
IIRC, all I did was drill out the old rivets, change the glass and
then re-pop-rivet it. I just went out and looked at them, I see
I could not do the underside one closest the rear corner.
Only one rivet there but I have never had a problem and you
have to look underneath to see it ;-)

Subject: [Tigers] quarter window replacement help request
Hello,
This was buried in a letter to the list serve I wrote end of last week.
Didn't hear from anyone so I'll try again.
QUESTION: We are replacing the hardtop quarter windows with the glass ones
from the
fellow in CA. The task of removing the old and reassembly seems a bit
daunting. Those rivets. If anyone has done this before and can contribute
a process, I would be much in your debt.
Best regards,
