Anybody have a successful way to get the rear side glass pains in? I'm doing the procedure per the manual with a rope and glass cleaner as lube but it's getting to be a bitch. Any corner to do first over another?
I have the rear hatch glass in.

There is a good thread somewhere here on mud giving step by step
Rope and silicone spray, just like the rear hatch.

I got the kydex cut out for the rear quarter panels. Pretty easy to work with. I'll get some economics together if ya'll are interested but I'm going to say prolly not more than $35 per side.
Carpet from Spector is awesome. New car smell !!

Great work brother.
Great work brother.
Use soapy water with the rope for the side windows, and a 1/4" nylon rope. Go slowly, and make figure 8s as you work the rope out of the groove (as the seal mates to the side of the body). Use plenty of soapy water, applied with a toothbrush (or whatever). Be patient, don't tear the seal. Get a helper. Don't start pulling the rope at a corner -start in the middle of a long run.

My supplier had a different nutcert that i needed to try before I pop the panels in. Should be done this weekend once I pick them up today.

Working on getting the front axle finally painted.
Left an Easter egg if their comes a time that it's not mine anymore. Packaging tape from SOR that still had glue.

Where did you source the kydex from? Keep up the great work!
Love that color. After all this and no paint on the seat back framing?

@drillduty Auburn Plastics here in Indy. auburnplastics.com They are a dealer for the maker of Kydex around the country. Indianapolis has a lot of manufacturing and since Kydex, PVC and UHMW are used for parts conveyor systems, they move a lot of it. 1/8 is the standard thickness they carry and black is the only color. Other colors are special order.
@jfnall I lost my brown trim piece that fastens the carpet to the seat back. I was waiting until the last minute to use the blue one I have in reserve hoping that the brown one appears somewhere I haven't looked yet.

I like the Kydex too. Thinking about it to replace my ratty tailgate carpet panel. What did you cut with and how was it?
Great work on this thing. I've got a tan '85 too but you're already putting mine to shame.
