Gen2 Brat - DYI/Aftermarket Rear Windows?

[thornleyjacob]

Howdy,

 

So I am now on the hunt for parts to jam my rear siding window back into the 1984 Subaru Brat. But it appears that both the inner rubber channel and outer rubber weatherstrip are pretty much no longer available. So now I am left with wondering WTF I am going to do. 

 

I browsed around the site and web for a bit today and found a few things but nothing that is either made for the model or in stock/being made anymore.

 

So...

 

What have you good peeps done to get around this mess? Anyone try a DIY Glass or Plexiglass rear window? It seems a lot of trucks basically glue their window up... I also stumbled across http://www.breezerwindows.com/ and have sent them an email asking if they can custom make one. Who knows.

 

Any ideas out there? Hints? Suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Jacob

Let me know - Breezerwindows responded with a custom window for and extra $150.00 over their already high pricing. But would look nice. Also contemplating making a lexan 3 piece window that is fully removable.
