Default question about FAL lexan windows...

i heard they are retain factory curvature of the window and install in just like ur factory glass...does this mean they will be weather proofed like ur factory glass also...and do u not need the rivits?.....i wanna run these on the street so do u think silicon would be sufficient in weather proofing them or the black windshield glue?that?...TIA

They should fit in just like stock, the only thing that might throw off the whole "like stock" installation is the thickness of the fal window. So you actually may need to rivet it in. They are somewhat scratch resistant but they can be buffed out. They might be worth a try, the stock windows are pretty damn heavy. If not just get a large sheet of lexan and do it yourself. Or you could do the ghetto fabulous way and get some plexiglass. hehe.

Expensive they are, but it is also a nice/easy place to lose some weight.
