Default Preferred Lexan window installer for my Vis Mugen style hard top

Hey guys, I’m hoping to utilize your experience here. I ordered a new tinted Lexan rear window and seal for my VIS Mugen hardtop, and now I need to get them installed. Nothing really come up from a search, and the shop directory thread only lists one option that seemed kinda close to what I wanted: M&S Collision body shop. What shops have people used that they would recommend for this job? I don’t mind spending a little more $$ if it means I’ll get a great quality install and the peace of mind to go with it.

Thanks for the input!

How's the fitment on your top? Just curious. Did you buy it brand new?

Not sure where ur located. But I had mine done in San Jose. Refered by someone from s2ki. Really happy with it. He used a better window seal then then what I had. I've had no leaks. He even did a vinyl strip around the window so that u can't see the molding from outside the window. I can get u the name of the place if ur interested.

Ap1porvida - Thanks for the feedback, and yes, I am very interested! I am in Santa Clara, so SJ is no problem for me.


Tunerplayground - The top fits really well - all gaps are even and tight. I've been waiting on new upgraded seals and this window, but otherwise I've been happy with it. I got it used off of the SoCal boards.

Like I posted on Baizas3's page Its a hit and miss if you buy one online and not knowing if the one they send you will fit right .
When I bought my first replica cf HT I went through 4 different boxes at VIS warehouse just to get the right one. I only had access since a buddy of mine worked there at the time. Sold it for $2000.

Yeah. It was actually because of that post that I picked mine up used - I knew that the one I was getting fit well so it seemed like less of a gamble.

Got my lexan done on my old HT at this place. I think they only charged me $250 including labor and weather strip.http://www.yelp.com/biz/capitol-glass-works-san-jose
