The rear window should be glazed in as per the normal glass window, side windows would be largely the same I'd imagine except you might not wanna open them so you'd perhaps disable the winder mechanism.

The rear quarters should be able to be glazed in I imagine.

depends on the kit.

some are cut to match the standard windows so press in using the standard window rubbers and look totally standard.

others need to be bonded in, or bonded and riveted / small buttonhead bolts.
cheers,

So how would you fit them to this ?
Does the glass come out ?
Are the non opening ones different ?

if its the same as mine and it looks like it is i ended up smashing the glass digging out the bits that were left in the channels and then carefully bonded in the poly window.

left it overnight with tape attached till the stikka flex had dried,,, bit messy and a real pain but was worth the effort looks perfect now.
