Thanks everybody! I've actually found a huge amount of information on racing 928s in the last 2 days. Apparently 83-85 was a big time for racing 928s.
On the Max Moritz/Strosek car, the Dutch Stallion, Fat Bully, and the red 1988 24H of Nurburgring car (OBehave's last pic), does anybody know how the windows are mounted? Are they simply slid into the track and held from below? Are they glued, riveted, bolted, or otherwise fastened in place? Do any have an external release for the window for emergency workers?

Is the polycarbonate in the window track and riveted or outside the track? We aren't allowed to have any tint on anything other than the quarter windows (or rear side windows of a 4-door car).

It's riveted inside the window track, onto the lip that held the window trim in place. If the car was home I'd take a photo for you. Here's the best one I have on file, but you can't really see the rivets as they're touched up with black paint -
