If your going to go the panoramic glass route, I’d choose VGS over Masai glass, I have Masai glass on the sides but the backdoor glass is VGS, much better

I am thinking of the sliding windows that's why I need to know how difficult it is to remove my puma windows without any damage to the panels, panoramic glass would cover any damage.
Sulisuli, I don't know who VGS are any chance or a link please. z4 |

Mine was damaged and it's no simple task to remove them since they are glued. We used a wire cutter (don't know the exact term, but it was a rope which cuts the glue in the corner). Need to be very careful but it's doable, if you take your time. a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover

That's interesting mate. What would you say is better about VGS glass? I presumed they were pretty much identical. |

Poles apart Zed, the sides were already fitted when I purchased the defender and made by Masai, if I was doing it again I’d go for VGS without doubt
Firstly their name is emblazoned on it, the glass quality seems better, overall a nicer product. 2015 HT XS 90 2008 SVX 90 2000 XS TD5 90 |

Glad I bought the VGS rear screen then but it was pure luck. I had planned to buy the Masai but they were out of stock at the time.
I'm happy with the VGS although I may get it tinted a bit more. Also I was slightly peeved I got rid of my Nakatanenga brake light. The bonded unit isn't as nice. |

like you i preferred the Nakatanenga brake light over the VGS fitted one, but in fairness the Nakatanenga brake light is a high quality unit and it would add to much to the price of the rear glass Im guessing.
Have you fitted a larger rear wiper blade, i have and in now wipes the area of the rear brake light 2015 HT XS 90

I hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a try.
