just like the title i got some fal side windows for a 92 civic hatch. does anybody have any experience with putting them in? i'm having trouble getting molding for the windows i don't want to rivet them in. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could be wrong here, but I think most people that put the FAl windows on street cars just use winshield urethane man. Go to a local windshield replacement place, and buy a tube, and go for it.

just got off the phone with fal and they said i don't use a molding they made the windows a little bigger so they don't need molding and he said the windows can be tinted if the tint is good. but im thinking what thats going to look like with no molding

 

thats why theyre not really for street cars

 

i would still like to see some pic. someone has to have them in .

 

the only thing i would do over, is maybe get like an 1/8 inch piece of plastic or rubber behind the window to space them out more. we used stainless allen head bolts to secure our windows.


they look awsome. check it.

this is the "street" rear 3 windows. the front windows on this car are the "race version"



this is the "race vesion" which includes 6 windows, (front, 2 door windows, 2 rear side, and the rear glass)

notbad but i don't want to screw them in. do they leak at all. and what would you say i would save on the wieght for just the two sides?

 

yea, they would leak, we didnt put any sealer behind the window.

now, if we had properly sealed the window, there would be no leaks.

weight savings, i bet its around 10 lbs. not much at all. imo, not worth it on a street car.


also... if you use these windows on your street car, you wont be legal for sfwd.(dunno if that applys to you or not, i know how some kids are hardcore streetracers)

 

man this a tough one i got the windows real cheap and i would like to use them in my daily driver but they way they might look with no moleding and is that 10 pounds for each side or just 10 pounds.

****...im 24...im catching up to you.... lol.

i would try to re- sell the windows if i were you. for the amount of hassle it would take to intall these windows, and do it/ have it done correctly, isnt worth the cost(IMO) not sure if you are turbo or not, but 2 more psi on that boost controller is gonna help alot more than a set of 300 dollar windows, that aint installed. also, lexan scratches REALLY easy. that would be another reason not to use these on a street car, just plain old washing your car with a "mit" will scratch the windows.

 

i have allmotor/nitours 199whp going back to get it tuned on the nitrous . a window shop was goning to put them in for me for$100. not bad . if i did sale them what could i get for them brand new still has the plastic **** on them?

 

my FAL side windows use the factory molding and install like a factory window and and the rear window does not.

dam thats the cleanest job on the windows ive seen what moleding did you use and were did you get it.

 

super clean install AMSMIKE that **** looks real good

 

they are the pre-molded oem fit FAL lexan windows. (I sell them)

installs like a stock window with eurathane sealant.

side windows use the factory moldings

rear window is cut larger so no molding.

looks factory, saves about 120lbs if not more.

thanks guys

i called fall and they said the 92-95 civic hatch you don't use moldings they said the window was cut larger so no molding was need true/false (the two side windows) if you do use molding were can you buy it honda sale it with the windows and ive looked into some glass places.

I believe the 92-95 hatch does not use the moldings and the coupe does. i could be wrong. I know 96-00 uses the side moldings as you can see on my car.

Trust what FAL says. They make them

wow..sense you sell those windows can you PM me a price for the rear 3 for a 99 hatch?

 

would you by chance have any close up pic.'s of a 92 hatch with the windows in it by chance.

 

I'm sorry but 120lbs. Geez your glass must have been an 1'' thick. I own the first orange race car dave showed and took my windows out personally. All three don't weigh 120lbs combined. And if you did your whole car your looking at 50 lbs difference.

Wow them windows look good
Aside from the logo they look OEM.

 

I have FALs on my EG6. I did not use the molding on the side windows because of the size. I acutally used the windsheild adhesive stuff which is a bad idea. Today I am dropping it off for paint and they are going to have to cut away at that sealant til they free the window. To put them back in, they are going to use the stuff that holds together blinker and such. It dries to a rubbery compound and not hard like the windsheild glue. Plus it comes in handy when you go over uneven terrain and your car flexes a little. I had a small crack where a coconut had fallen on my car and when I was pulling out of a sloped driveway at an angle, it sent a crack halfway down the window. Here is a pic of mine.
You can see I had to use screws for the back window.
