Looks great Eshan!
I have a question though. Since I am getting the half canvas rear ambulance doors can I get my quarter windows the same height as the windows on the doors?
Let me know if it will cost more to do this modification.

Thanks

Thanks.. Can you please make a rough diagram to illustrate what exactly you want?

Ehsan... if you look at the links below, I think you'll get a good idea of what he's looking for.

I would like mine the same way... rear main window and quarter windows short.... the same length as the side windows (as shown below):

Here's a photochop of your top with the shorter windows. The bottoms are even with the sides...

The ambulance door windows Bob was talking about would have the same, short quarter windows (even with the bottom windows here) >

Here's a sketch.
I hope this helps.
In the photo you posted, the top and bottom of the quarter windows is lined up with the top and bottom of the large window. I would like my quarter windows to be the same ,but I am getting a set of your half canvas ambulance doors and I think the windows on them are at a different height . Just wondering if you can make my quarter windows so that the bottom of the windows are at the same elevation.
Thanks, bob

Thanks Chris.
I don't think i was putting it into words just right.
We're after the same result.
Bob
 
I'm with you guys...I think it looks much better with all the windows the same size. I like the looks of the slightly larger windows on the red truck a little more than the white one (I like both). I'd like mine to be like that.

Ehsan, I would like my top to have the windows the same size as shown in the photos Chris linked in his last post.
THanks!

In this picture, the windows line up in the lower edge (the rear 3 and the side 2 ). The upper edge is higher for the rear 3 windows then the sides.. We can reduce the upper hieght of the rear windows but that would reduce the visibility and will not look good either.. The choice is offcoarse upto you ppl..

Moreso, there is a difference in the pics that you posted for the refference..

and

So... correct me if I am wrong.. In the image

There are however some issues with the propotions in this image.. i.e. for the lower edhe to match for all the indows we will have to ...
1- Reduce the hieght of the rear windows which would reduce the visibility..
2- Lower the side windows which would then cover part of the side seats
See the pics beloww for the comparison...

The side windows are very low in the pic above and will be more evident when there are seats indside the vehicle.. I would recomend the second last configuration...
Choice?

I think the guys are saying that they would like too see the side windows stay at the height that you originally made them at ....just the rear windows should be smaller as you choped on your last pics...I think the issue is just the extra large rear 3 windows...they would look nicer if they were the smaller, the rear view is not hindered by the smaller size ....i find the smaller size not to be an issue...its more to OEM looking.
 
I really like the look of the smaller side and back windows like JohnnyC top, I think it gives it the charactor I would like to see, besides less plastic to scratch, Larry
 
aesthetically, I think:
1. all the windows should be the same size...it just looks better.
2. although I really like the look of JohnnyC's top, I think the red FJ's top has windows that are closer in size to the hardtop's windows (maybe 2 inches taller)....which I think is the ideal.
in use:
I've lived with the FJ40 blind spots for 20 years, so a smaller back window isn't gonna be a problem.

So, let's just have Ehsan make them with windows that are the same height as the hardtop's and call it a day. :)

Cheers,

Eshan,
I think the side windows were perfect in the original picture. I don't think they should be lowered.

The rear windows look great in the last picture you posted. I think it is OK that the tops of the windows don't line up with the tops of the side windows. In the picture of JohnnyC's truck with the green top you can see that the tops of the rear windows are a bit higher. I just think it looks much better with more canvas under the rear windows. The last pic you posted looked perfect in the rear, just needed the side windows put back to where you had them before.

Bob
 
I don't mean to complicate things, and my plan is to use a tailgate so maybe this is irrelevant, but I would like as much window area as possible in the rear. So I am hoping the original window design for tailgate tops does not change to smaller rear windows.

cheers,
theo
 
Hmmm.. OK.. So we now have..
1- The rear large window version and
2- The rear small window version..
Side windows stay where they are.. Right? Lets make it this and finalize it.. It would obviously be better if there was only one version as that would decrease the chances of error..
Ehsan
 
Ehsan, don't make 2 versions just on my account. I can be happy with the rear small windows, and it looks like the "popular choice" right now (Robert, Chris, Johnny, Alex, and Larry).

If the other buyers in this group come back and say they want the larger rear windows then maybe we have an issue. If not, you've got a final order that you and Chris can review.

Side windows stay where they are - yes. :)
