[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16863991, member: 83412"] Ordered and received the Dennis Carpenter reproduction coupe quarter windows. I wanted these a couple years ago but people had a few issues with them and they stopped supplying them. When I saw they were available again I jumped on them. Problem is, they didn't fix the problem. They merely changed the installation method. Instead of drawing the window in via the nuts inside the vehicle (to compress the butyl seal) they now recommend using silicone and only installing the nuts finger tight. The issue is, the embedded window studs pull out. The factory studs are very secure and rigid. The DC repro ones, not so much. Mine came with voids in the rubber (on the backside, outside of the window is perfect) so bad that I could flick some of the studs right off the window with my finger. [I]Terrible[/I] QA. I used epoxy and window urethane to reinstall the studs. I'm far away from install time but wanted them to be ready when I am. We shall see. [/QUOTE]
