Are you talking about the side passenger windows or the rear window itself? I was thinking it's the side windows, but the second paragraph points to the back window. Like BlueKoop an Gary have said, original rear window seals are best. As for side windows lining up, it takes LOTS of adjustment and fiddling to get right. Just take your time, and walk away if you get frustrated.

Good luck mate!

Great progress with the coupe. that interior looks mint, and suits the blue paintwork nicely, the engine sounds healthy too, looking forward to more updates..

I was reading the Quokka yesterday and read a for sale ad that looked like your car, is it up for sale now?

Yes it is. It's either I sell the coupe or my wife sells her SLR5000 which I gave to her for her 30th as we have a great opportunity to move forward with our simulation business. I'm looking at it as a short term loss for a long term gain and whatever other positive thoughts I can dream up.
Hopefully it won't sell and I'll have to come up with another plan as we've put over 2 years of effort to get it this far.
If someone is interested in investing in our business then we could always look at that instead.
