Hightop acrylic window
Hello again and good day
I have 2005 plate Trident with acrylic windows in the hightop, both are cracked and have used gaffer tape to stop water ingress but want to replace with toughened glasss. Anyone know if this can be done and how the windows are removed?
Would be good to have details of the companies that that have helped if possible.
Thanks all.
Happy travelling....

Not sure re glass, especially if not totally flat
Suggest consider POLYCARBONATE on the grounds of:-
1 Strength
2 Easy to cut
3 Light weight

Re: Hightop acrylic window
Agreed - glass will be heavier than the originals, and much more difficult to work with. If yours are made by ParaPress, and are double glazed, it should be relatively easy to replace them in something made of acrylic or polycarbonate.
This has definitely been discussed on this forum before, so a forum search may help.

Hello, I had exactly the same issue and replaced them myself. Try searching this forum using trident high top window replacement. Its daunting to begin with but have a look at my post on the subject it should explain all. If not get in touch. Good luck

A breaker just listed on Ebay, are the windows the same as yours?
