Since the clips don’t line up either, the trim is pop-riveted to the upper door skin to hold it in place. However the rear windows on the 73’s are quite a bit different than the 71 models, so that took quite a bit of tweaking to the trim to make it fit the window, in fact it took all morning last Saturday to get those in there. On the doors, since I removed the wing windows for some weight savings I had to get 73-74 window fuzzies to fit the full length. The front windshield however is a preformed Pro-Glass part and it does have the scratch resistant feature, it was quite expensive, so I’m hoping it will last for a while. I had also heard numerous problems with the scratch resistant coating, so decided against it for the rear windows. My thinking was I can afford to replace the windows completely several times for the cost of a one time install of the Maurguard type. I debated a bit on getting the scratch resistant type, and finally decided to get the regular lexan as a full sheet was only $154 w/tax and scratch resistant was much higher. We bought a 4×8 sheet of it to do the rear and side windows. I used 3/16″ thick lexan with a smoke grey tint that I got from Regal Plastics in Joplin, MO. We’re now wrapping up the installation of the lexan windows on Ol’ Blue and it’s starting to look like a car again.
