Ok so i bought the seibon hatch and nothing is getting done.. First im told I need to get a molding for the window... so i called Nissan and they are $100+tax HOLY CRAP... Than im told I should buy a new rear window.. because appartently it will burst and ill be screwed. But i have been going through the forums and everybody says to get a lexan hatch kit?? what is that? please tell me where to get it too!!!!!!!! ASAP thanks guys

 

http://www.lsauto.com/

this is the only rear kit i can find .... is this what everyone is getting..???

 

lol at you not doing your homework prior to buying crap.......your at the shops mercy now and they can start to put it to you........

dont know what lexan is.......

as for the shops inability to swap the glass...thats bunk........and you sound like a person that needs to keep the glass.....versus mess with lexan...

get them to remove the glass.....hopefully those that have done the swap can chime in..

-J

 

like i have an idea of it... like i know what to do... but i can not find any good prices anywhere... aka molding or lexan kit..

kinda want a lexan kit because they are light as hell.. but i cant find them anywhere!!!!!!!!

 

window moldings are not cheap, then again, nothing from dealership is cheap

 

A little cheaper....

thanks Lee!!!!!!! but now i read on a forum that it wont be flush and might look funny?? maybe i should just get lexan ??

 

LMAO was right under your thread in DIY

He put Glass in not lexan but think I will go Lexan for the benifit of losing about 50 lbs and if it comes with all hardware you will not need the dealership mold.

100$ "rubber from dealer + Cost of having the OEM glass removed and instaled "while removing a perfectly good OEM hatch and glass combo" more than the cost of a lexan kit in my eyes.

 

lol yea thats kinda what id love to do... but i can't find a lexan kit.. btw can a lexon kit be tinted??

 

he linked the kit its 200$ here

 

anyone know if the lexan kit requires this moulding as well??

 

Requires? No. For looks and sealing purposes I would highllllllly recommend it. I was told by a local officer here in NY that lexan is "illegal" because of lack of DOT approval. (take this with a grain of salt, early vipers and tons of convertibles, for example, came with factory lexan/polycarb) For this reason alone I used a moulding with a dark tinted lexan just to be as inconspicuous as possible.

If this it not a concern, or if you know this to NOT be true, moulding is unnecessary. LSAuto has you covered.

Autoall.com has lexan as well but there is NO hardware included and mine did not come with ANY 3m tape like they claim.


edit:
NO lexan can NOT be tinted like you would tint glass. (using films)
You can buy lexan that already IS tinted.

 

nothing on my car is legal but in FL they dont really look at anything but tint and exhaust that I have experiaced. Where can I get a tinted lexan kit?

 

Autoall.com

just type in 350z lexan next time instead of kit

nice 265+shipping and its a 3m tape stick on. like the tint but rather the kit.
Doesent anyone make a lexan tinted kit with all mouning hardware?

 

yea same... does anyone have a pic of a cf hatch with a lexan rear window?? for some reason i kinda feel like it would look cheap and not nice....

 

+1...

Ive heard you CANNOT swap the glass and you have to get new glass with these hatches.

You should do your homework before you buy parts, though.

 

ive seen several guys swap their hatch glass
