Fit polycarb windows, you can buy kits from acw motorsport plastics.

Do these still allow me to wind the windows up and down?

I have got lexan wind-ups from acw , they're a different quality (marguard) then the standard lexan windows, hence the price. You will scretch standard polycarb windows very easily, so i would reccomend them.

Cant decide between wind ups or sliders.
Got a few questions...

How secure are the sliders?
Would it be easy for someone to break into my car?
Are the sliders practical?
Will they leak?

Thanks

If it's a daily, get winders. When it's hot out, it's murder inside! A tiny hole to breathe through and no real air flow. ITS HOT!

It's amazing how much weight perspex or polycarb windows save.
But never wash the windows with a sponge which you've used for washing the rest of the car as sponges used to wash the car will retain very small grit particles and these will scratch the pespex. Polish with wax polish using, again, a fresh pair of cloths to avoid scratches.
