Plastic for performance do kit which are formed and fit in the standard rubbers IIRC.

There is a thread in this section on the subject if you do a search to save everything being repeated :thumb:

Come on Nick, we've been over this so many times. ACW windows are not of the same quality and they are not thermomoulded, its like saying a 318i is cheaper than an M3 but the driver satisfaction is the same. :mad:

bus shelters.. the council keep replacing them so you can do the whole lot in about a month, or at least that's how it goes down in certain areas :roll:

I make polycarb windows, including moulded ones (formed). As for quality ask Kipsy and a few others. Catch me on ebay or leave a message here.
