Can anyone tell the rest of us how much the Dutch windows are? It doesn't say on their site.

Don’t use the supplied button head fixings as they rust quickly....

Thank you! These look nice but I would love a gullwing doow with locks operated by the central locking. Haven't seen such a thing though. |

I thought I’d share my experience with the first window.
First off, as some folks shared..getting the puma rear windows out took HOURS. Heat, plus I needed to find a windshield removal tool...and then simply a ton of time cutting and heating and cutting. The adhesive used is windshield adhesive. VERY tough stuff. The Frontrunner windows are INCREDIBLY well made. Tolerances are fantastic and it’s beefy as hell. Once the window frame was out it took some filing and finesse to fit the new gulllwing frame. File, test fit and repeat about 40 times. Once it fit I used 3M 5200 adhesive sealant which I’ve used on my boat for years. It’s incredible stuff. I’m not worried about water. Very pleased with this upgrade hoping the second side takes less time!  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

@Big110 - Very smart!
May I ask where you got the Front Runner gullwings from? They seem quite hard to source! |

That looks good too.
Don't Frontrunner have two models to Pre 2004 and Post 2004? That way the cutting would not be needed. The upper corners are different. lhttp://explore-glazing.nl/en/products/lan...dows[/url] |

I wasn’t given any option for pre-post 2004 when I worked with Frontrunner. The install instructions were also for all models so I’m not sure. The install was really straight forward just time consuming. The puma window removal however, I’m dreading starting the second side. Such a pain in the arssss

Thx Mate. I had to get these direct from Frontrunner. Had to come off the boat from the factory so it took quite some time but after a year of researching front runners product is superior to anything else on the market. |

Hi Frank,
I´m looking for glazed gullwings as well. I like the dutch ones you have. I have one question: Do they stop at any angel when opening? Can you open them only a bit if it is raining? Thanks! Peter 2013 110 TD4 SW Utility 1997 110 Tdi300 Hard Top 2013 90 TD4 Hard Top (trashed) |

A breaker in Barnsley has a 110 in with these windows and was advertising the vehicle on ebay. I know though that he did not have the keys for the windows. Place was called Milton Goughs. I bought an Exmoor trim back seat out of it.
