Retainers/Tabs for Front Lexan
Could anyone point me in a direction for a source for the tabs/retainers to secure front lexan screen in a 911?
I've seen the Smart Racing version, and wondering if there is another source (besides a Home Depot do-it-yourself). TIA

Yea, that is how it is done frequently, however, do you REALLY want to drill holes in your nice car? What I did with mine was to purchase a Shields Lexan window cut to fit the window opening and install it in the factory rubber gasket. I've done a few street cars like this with no issues of leaking of popping out. On mine, I lifted the edge of the rubber gasket at the top and drilled 2 very small holes on each side about 10mm apart and safety wired the top of the window to the cage. With the rubber gasket down you cannot see the safety wire. This keeps the window in, and it allows the window to be pushed out at the bottom in case you need to exit the car through that openeing (hopefully never). You may want to consider something like that.
