First make sure the replacement panels are exactly the correct original height. Simply position the plexi panel in the middle of the frame with the lower edge in the channel, bow it gently but firmly to lose effective height and pop it into place. Do not use heat or cold to try to improve things. Cold will simply make it brittle. The alloy frame will also spread slightly which will also help matters.

Now have to replace a broken Plexiglas panel - do the panels need to be heated in sunlight or hot water to help them flex enough to install in the channels? Has anyone ever tried freezing them to shrink them? -- Steve Gerow Altadena, CA, USA BN6 $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/richchrysler@quickclic.net _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/mharc@autox.team.net |
