Re: Value of thicker Plexiglas in fixed lights?

A lot of great suggestions. Yes, I will be going bronze again. However, I was going to use the 3M tape to install the lights, I have seen adhesives used, and if the tint isn't dark enough, it can look like a pretty bad caulking job. THis was the procedure I was going to use:

Interesting..a lot of the window plastic area on S2s is not see through as it is adhesive area. So when you look at the periphery, you look at a lot of area that has tape. I'm not talking this down rather I’m interested in how it turns out!

Lou. I followed that video when I redid the fixed lights on my moody this past April
Th vhb tape is very aggressive. You get one shot at alignment...

So far one season with no problems
