Default window nets

I need help selecting and installing a window in my car, size/style/brand and how to put it in I've searched and no clear insight... so just saying search wont help. I know of all the brands out there so thats not the issue.

I use a custom built Stroud net.

They are fairly cheap. And getting them custom made to fit is really the only way IMO. They look and fit so much nicer

Took one week from the day I ordered it, to it being on my doorstep.

we use custom strouds on a 25.4/5, but just grab a generic one for roll bars/cages.

do you always use custom ones on bars/cages?

I've used generic ones on the last 2 cages, and bought a custom one for this setup. And from here on out, yes, I'll always use the custom ones.

A generic one wouldn't of work on my current cage setup. Well, not without looking horrible.
