side window flap fitting

[Huw Peplow]

Have just bonded in side windows now am fitting the flap windows.

Has any one got good photos of the hinge fitting ,ie the pivot point in reference to the seam between window and flap,I have the original type perspex hinges (same shape as the aluminium ones) Does the edge of the flap need to be bevelled to allow opening with out catching the edge of the window. my aim is to make the gap minimal.

a pencil drawing would do!

The opening section of the window must be carefully shaped to open fully, but this inevitably leaves a small gap which is not weather proof. I have developed a thin rubber that seals the window but allows enough gap for clear opening. Worth considering ! Frank
