    First mock up with door glass, sorry for the **** pics had to use the laptop cam :/

    I have found 4 door surf glass (90's model) is sooo close to fitting perfectly (just needs one edge trimed) seeing as its off a 4 door and no one wants to buy them i just might have to give it a go haha

    or a plan i had tonight for my dodge ramcharger, use 3-4 large plexi panels with some 1/4 turn fasterners. have a few polished cross bars in the middle that are also removeable. reason for me to want a few panels is so i can stack and tuck them into the back area. and it would seal better than a rag. plus its cool to be able to look up even in bad weather. but a ramcharger has a lot more roof than you. so 1-2 would be cool. :p do it!
