Lockleaf Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 So just to confirm, your windshield is totally stock. You put in a lip inside the windshield frame, then painted a black trim around inside of the glass and urethane (or whatever they use) glued it in? There is nothing special about the windshield? And the black looks fantastic in the bed 2 Quote Link to comment

Bory Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 lockleaf, ya you can go back to page 46, and see what I did, as far as adding material to fill the windshield register, it was a bunch of work, but glad I did it, but windshield is totally stock, my installer did have to sand it down on some edges because I wanted it tight, the back window is easy cus its flat, and easy to cut a bigger than stock one. the urethane paint edge is for more of a modern look.. but thanks for the props guys 2 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I read through that and just wanted confirmation. I appreciate you responding. Its a genius maneuver i didn't even realize was possible. 2 Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 You know I came up with the idea, when I was doing the one piece side glass, and originally I was going to have a custom winshield made, that was bigger to fill that gap, and had a shop that would do it, cost- $5000. I said ahh I'll do it a different way, and so I had two objects that had to get a little closer to each other, and one option was out so my brain said, then get the other to move over- thus the register (window opening is what it's actually called) got smaller. 3 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Its a genius maneuver i didn't even realize was possible. Byron Meston did it to his 510 about 8+ years ago. I spent at least 20 minutes having him explain to me in great detail how he did it so I could copy it. ^_^ It looks super clean when it's done well. Byron used a sort of T-shaped rubber insert to fill the gap between body and glass after it was installed for an extra weather seal. Some more pics here: http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?t=530&start=825 Sorry for the minor threadjack. ^_^ 3 Quote Link to comment
Bory Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Ya no worries on the pics- but he deff has a gasket in there still, what Iv done, you see glass and sheet metal, so to the eye it looks totally different than what we are used to seeing. To be honest, out of all the work Iv done to this, getting lots of props on the flush mount glass. Now I could have done the small rubber that say 87 camaro uses, real thin little 1/4" wide to close the gap, but still lays flat. But I really wanted it kinda a clean look, and free from using rubbers-oh 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I really wanted it kinda a clean look, and free from using rubbers-oh I get that, and it looks badass. :thumbup: But with him living in a very rainy part of Canada, it wouldn't work as well as it would in California. 1 Quote Link to comment
