Title: repro FE weathershield fitment Post by: Rabbitoh on March 14, 2008, 08:59:24 AM Tried to fit my new w/shield (Auto Shades sourced) and found that the top of the unit clashes with the little metal water deflector attached to the top of the quarter vent window frame. What is the better fix, cut a slot in the perspex shield, or the metal deflector?

Just what I needed to know. :D When drilling perspex etc best use a blunt drill bit as sharp ones tend to fracture. cheers Grant Title: Re: repro FE weathershield fitment Post by: Rabbitoh on March 19, 2008, 08:35:30 AM Used an angle grinder with a masonry disc- just like a hot knife through the proverbial condiment.... :D
