Default Installing quarter windows

I made new windows for my track car, and while I was installing them, I thought I'd make a little video - since I'm sure some people are confused about how to use the string method to install them.

Done properly and with a little practice, it can be done in about 2 minutes.

Very nice video. Friend of mine and I just did this after I replaced the rear speakers. String method is good.

It's like a plastic twine. Got a large box of it at Home Depot many years ago for all sorts of general "tying" projects.

Nice seeing you yesterday!

Van, thanks for that demo.

I'm replacing my rear speakers and need to how to do this in order to remove the side panels covering the speakers.

I now think I can attempt this myself after seeing your video.

Thanks again...
