Cut some Lexan in the exact shape of one of your side windows, slide it up into a small channel at the top of the window opening in the body, and use on of these to hold it in place at the door top.

I picked up a sheet of Lexan last night. Where do you get locks like that? They look like the ones you would see used on store display cases.

Here's one place that has a sliding showcase lock like that:

Cool, thanks!!

Since you're apparently new to the Lexan game, I'll warn you now. If you do side windows or the rear window, clean it with soft rags and soap and water. Paper towels will scratch the crap out of it, and glass cleaner turns it cloudy. Get the window as clean as possible before you put any cloth or anything on it. If you only use it for your temporary windows I guess it doesn't matter, but just thought you should know, since you got a sheet and that's more than enough to do the quarters and hatch.

True. I have never had a car with Lexan in it before. The car has a Lexan rear window. Thanks for the heads up.

I am still looking for any way to secure the top and front edge of the temporary window.

I have a set of window channels that I am considering cutting to fit the top and front edge of the window opening. Just trying to figure out the best way to attach it to the weather strip lip on the car.

You could use a pip pin, or just drill a hole through the channel and the lexan and put bolt and nut in there. Pip pins are kind of expensive.

The first time around I drilled a hole and put one of those spring clips over the hole that allow you to thread a screw through it. It held it ok, but it was not very user friendly. Pretty much a PITA to get it out again.

I kind of like the idea of the retail store lock. Not that I need to lock anything, but it would be quick and easy to use. That would require the window to have a channel to slide into though.

Pip pins are another good idea. Pretty quick and easy to use.

What about Cleco Clamps? http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=645

I am not sure how strong those are though.

Never used clecos, but I know you'd have to buy the pliers to take them in and out.

I just talked to another car buddy who uses these. He thought they would be stong enough. I am thinking, 2 at the top, 1 in the front (leading edge), combined with the retail lock at the back and the window sliding into the channel on top of the door should do it. It should be pretty quick and easy to install/uninstall.

It would be a lot cheaper that pip pins which cost $14/each. The Clecos are $.59/each and $8.50 for the pliers. Not too bad at all.
