Haven't found anything at all, so I thought I would double check here before I move this from my "wants" list to my "fuggetaboutit" list. Is there any source at all for the factory style sliding 2 piece front windows found on the GTS? I've seen some windows with small sliding cutouts, but I don't care for those.

Go ahead, kill me quickly

I have not seen any company that reproduces the slider window in that style. There was a writeup somewhere (I think even here on this board, but it might be on RL or Pelican) of someone who had done a pretty good job making their own replica out of Makralon. It wasn't identical, but it was closer to the GTS window than the D9 stuff.

Not my cup of tea so I don't have direct bookmarks

Do some digging into todays European 944/951 racing and you'll find these are costum build for the reproduced lightweigt/carbon doors.
Contact the builders for details on the sliding pieces.
Good luck.

Cheers, Harm.

ps. What a waste: handmade-gfk-parts.de/924-carrera-gt/ is no longer online…

Well, usually my google-fu is pretty good, but I'm not finding any cars with the sort of windows I'm talking about (Except for factory of course).

Harm, you got any more hints?

I think it was in France…

I'd love to have a slide on my driver side. I just cut some out of lexan using the window glass and heated them up a little bit for a slight curve and they fit right into the stock window slides. Then used a few bits of carbon fiber and quick release pin to drop them out and remove them.

CPV - Did you ever post pix of how you fastened the lexan in the sills?
