Can you come to Colorado and make me a dash?    JK

Nice work!

While waiting on my window tracks.  I made a sail panel mold and then made the part.

Pretty happy how it came out.

Simple Man...
The best you can do with how much glass ends up above your window opening when the glass is all the way down will depend on how far down the glass (and what holds the glass) can go until it contacts the bottom inside of your door.  If there is anything you see that can be trimmed or adjusted to get a better result, give it a try but don't expect too much.
I see the measurement you took and just remember you will also have an inner door panel with upholstery that will be up  little higher than the inside door panel, so that measurement will become less when you are finished your build.  All side windows on these cars will be exposed some when down so don't be too concerned.  You appear to be in the ballpark.
You are doing a great job.

Bonded the metal door frame to the inner door.  Got a new set of tracks as the one from the pick n pull was rusted.

Got everything reinstalled and the new maxima track is waaay better.  Now to work on getting the outer skin to fit correctly.

About 3.25 inches of glass stick up above the door sill

When Murci-Me let me pull a center console from the mold he had, I made a mold to make the  console switch plate.  It took me a while to locate the part     yes that is PVA on the part..


Added the Audi switch and replica switch frame.  The wiring, relays, switch and motor all work great!

Took the door apart and prepped and painted the frame.  While the paint was drying  sorted out  the Fiero power window wiring and added a couple of relays, worked out nice to be able to use the exisitng wiring 

I have spent a lot of time on that work stool lately

Good job on lining up that door, not an easy feat.  Even the door glass on the original Murcielago doesn't roll all the way down, so if yours sticks up it means it's perfect!

Thanks Autopro!  biggest problem Im facing right now is finding the time, work looks to be pretty intense through the end of June. With Saturday afternoons being the only free time I have for the REDO. 

Liking the way your build is coming out !!

Had a ballast or transformer go out in a florescent light over the REDO. The LED replacement is super bright!!! 

Did some trimming on the outer door skin, it is pretty flush with the body.

Going to dyna glass and fiberglass the metal frame to the inner door, then reinstall the power window system.  Ive been plyaing around with the door handle and thinking about how it will function with the W126 latch.

Good job on the door glass, cars look totally different with it on.

Thanks, still have a ways to go on the door!

Nice work.    I am about to embark on my window tracks.  Is your glass suppose to be 2.5" from the sill?

Thanks FC!

The REDO originally came with Saturn Glass which really suxed!!  I think it was 8 inches up above the sill when fully retracted (see picture below).  Was looking around for side glass and found the Murci-Me's G28 glass could not be purchased and started a thread.

Long story short went with OEM glass.
