Default How do you install glass on the C/F hatch???

I was just curious about how the glass is actually installed on the CF hatches. I seen a few of them but never looked very closely to how it was installed. Is it something you can do at home or do you need to take it to a shop to have the glass installed?

Thanks in advance for your replies,
ian

Some people do it at home some say take it to a shop. Whatever you do make sure your careful, that big piece of glass isn't cheap.

Do they use glass on the CF hatches? Doesn't seem to make sense to loose the wieght with CF, but put heavy glass on the car.

CF is hardly about weight savings on civics. It is a fashion statement more than anything.

just get some lexan windows for the hatch. then you will save some more weight. But i would take it somewhere to get it done, cause the last thing you want to happen is the glass fall out while your driving.

Instead of hatch glass, just use a large sheet of clear plastic. Much lighter than "lexan" or "glass". pFFFFTTT, who uses glass in their race cars anyways! Thats soooo 1973.
