funny you should mention them been struggling to get on their website for about an hour. Will try again then as had given up.

Works fine for me!

[NickRDK]

has worked this time, think its the work internet. They are about £40.00 cheaper than some places I have seen. Thanks.

[Mochachino]

Good quality and well priced with decent options available.

One thing they dont do is thermoformed. Plastics for performance do them I think but cost a fair wack more. Perfectly fine without being formed though imo, no issues here.

[NickRDK]

I have looked there too but like you say the cost is higher. If your happy with their product then thats good enough for me. Thanks for your help mate.

What's the difference? (Thermoform noob here) - are they better shaped somehow?

Thermoformed are shaped to match the exact curve that the original windows had. ACW ones are just flat so offer no curve, thus alot cheaper but depending how you're fitting them theres not really any drawbacks. If you're riveting or bonding in theyre fine, there may be sealing issue though if you intend to fit using OE mounting points/brackets.

Perfect explanation thank you :)

I plan to bond them in so you don't think I'll have any issues? Should I be concerned about them not bonding very well if they're trying to "ping out" all the time? (Again, excuse my ignorance!)

Sealing ACW ones is easy enough, you can buy some tape stuff from homebase that works as a sealant, just tape around edge of the window before riveting them in.

sorta like a double sided foamfilled tape? That what you had in mind?
