    Hi -

    A long while back i picked up the mirrored back glass from CPR for my Whirlwind. I used the stock translite black molding around the top, sides, and lift channel on the bottom. They all feel loose. Is it that mine are just kinda stretched out from age, or are they the wrong size? If the latter - can you point me w/a link to the right spot to pick up the right sized ones?

    Thanks!

    Use friction tape in a couple spots on the glass and then slip the plastic over it

    id prefer the right size ones if there's a better solution considering what i paid for the glass.

    I think you will find even tight fitting plastic rails will pull/fall off easily regardless.

    I agree with @Cheddar, use tape around the edge and then fit the channel over that for a snug, safe fit.

    Thanks DBaron - exactly what i was looking for. Saw that thread forever ago and forgot to hang onto it and couldn't re-find it. Ordered the Sys 11 channels.
