Hey John, question about the front and rear glass. I noticed that you don't have the stainless steel trim. Did you just replace that with some sort of rubber seal? Just curious how you did that.

I flush mounted the AMD front and rear glass by stacking two 5/16 square buytl tape on top each other to get the depth and a 3/4 universal t molding glued in with super fast urethane ... :bigsmile:

got any pictures of that process? I am assuming the 3/4 T molding takes up the gap between the glass and the body? where did you source it?
