Welcome!

 

Do you have any pictures of what you make now?

now I'm sketching to find the sweet spot in the design. then let's move on to the gaps.

 

Welcome from vancouver BC

 

Do you have any pictures of what you make now?

 

Interesting idea. You'll need them to open with the doors (or possibly hinge up?), so not sure how the framework will be attached. Also, what about opening/venting?

 

thanks. I plan that they will open with the door. compatibility will be with original door trims, with original aluminum doors. I read a lot that all offers on the market do not have windows for ventilation. I think i something made as option

 

I made gull wing doors out of lexan for a 2014 Maverick Max one time. Piano hinges and shock. There where a little crude but the idea had some merit.

 

Do you have a photo?

 

Sorry no photos it was a while ago. With reference to your sketch. The shaded area red and as far as the blue area, where it starts was a fixed piece. I used aluminum channel that was 3/16” wide x 3/8” high for the framing. The latches where rubber pull tabs. Kind of like the ones that hold the hood down on a tractor trailer, stretch the rubber handle drops into the metal bracket that comes with it. Lexan was a poor choice overall. It scratched to easily. It was easy to work with the material is quite malleable.

 

Thanks, I understand how it all happened. I am now using an idea that I saw indirectly from other manufacturers, but they went the other way and use another form and material

 

Looks like SolidWorks and you have access to a 3D scanner. Nice. I'm anxious to see what you come up with.

 

I have own scanner. They make work faster

 

decided on the glass format. now work is underway with the modeling of the shape and measurements of the gap of doors and body

The door to cage gaps vary between different machines. The existing hard window kits I’ve found require installer to trim to fit. Leave some room for that . A tight tolerance design on one machine won’t fit all of them. Keep door weight light as possible, factory hinges sag with added weight, I adjusted mine slightly and my setup is ultra light. There are better aftermarket hinges available but adds to price. I think it’s Hen racing that has a kit, just as example of fitment and weight.

 

I just came accross the @REFINERIDE roof rack for the stock style roofs... I had never seen it.. Wife and I both want low profile, but many of the low profile racks fit only aluminum roofs/their own brand of roof...

I think it looks great, has plenty of functionality, and a high quality aluminum product.. The price is way steep though....

Thanks for your feedback. this is only one product we put up for sale. the price is high unfortunately because of the delivery. Estimated shipping cost is $250. but there will always be discounts for forum members.

 

I suppose, with the freight costs from Ukraine to the US, I shouldn't say the price is "way steep".. But like many accessories I feel broke when just looking at them...

 

Welcome from Oregon

 

I built these at home, 1/8” polycarbonate smoked . Aluminum angel and channel for light weight, aluminum mirror mounts, installed well nuts for quick removal. There are air leaks, but the machine is full of factory air leaks so not an issue. I should have used 3/16” poly , I can tow with windows on but the catch a lot of air and flop around a lot. I added two attachment points to keep them secure while towing. I can’t find scratch resistant polycarbonate that is tinted anywhere so maybe a high quality ceramic coating would work. Hope my input helps. If you develop a quality design and product for under a thousand US dollars it will sell.

 

I'll tell you, great job. I really like your result. we will also use aluminum, but not corners, just aluminum. I will try to show the result today. the price will be up to $ 1000 with delivery. we have already seen all the gaps that we get and developed seals. Tomorrow we will print them on a 3D printer for verification and if everything is perfect, we will start the production of rubber seals.

 

Nice job on the side windows. The driver side has an aluminum section up a few inches from the top of the door. The passenger side does not. What was the reason for that difference. I think your right 3/16 or even 1/4” material may have been better. When I had the gull wing doors I had two inside latches to keep them closed. My 4 door Maverick had only front door windows none in the back. So I had to reach in from the back seats to latch when towing.

 

The aluminum is channeled and for my sliding window, I only did that on drivers side. I have a Velcro strap on inside of glass I strap to roll bar to keep windows secure, also added a flip down lever that can be turned from in or out of vehicle to secure front edge of windows. The vent window is also for access to inner door handle, the passenger door has strap at rear of door you can pull from outside. I Recently ordered new handles that are accessible from inside and outside.

 

Hi all! We work 24/7 and we can say that we like the result 👍

There are small gaps between the body and the glass itself, but we plan to remove them with seals. We don't have the right size on market, so we'll make our own, this is a very expensive pleasure. But we like to do parts not marketing. Therefore, we do not regret our efforts.

 

Those look great!

 

many people have complained about the lack of a sliding window. be good, we begin it 🤫

 

Yeah a slider is really nice, mine is small but still helps a lot with ventilation. If the entire front half of door glass slid back that would be awesome but take some engineering with track and hardware that I wasn’t willing to do at the time. When I replace current door windows I may rethink that. I’m interested in what you come up with. I’d suggest offering solid non vented option, and a sliding option if price will be an issue.

You guys work fast. Keep up the good work. I believe a lot of us are excited to see your journey with this product.

thanks! keep for updates. there will be many more interesting things

 

And here is the first render!
For some reason, I immediately came up with a name for it. Calypso like a submarine.
Next step is manufacturing and first fitting 🤟

 

Nice job guys, let us know when you get some for the X3 Max. looking good

 

fitting tomorrow, if everything goes well, then for Max we will do it within a week

 

The sliding window will have exactly 5 positions. to fix the window, you will only need to open it to the desired width and it will fix itself. all eyes on the road

 

I select the handle to open the window. which one do you think would be comfortable?

 

Use the one that is easier to use while driving. Both look good to me 👍

 

#1 handle knob seems like it would be easier to turn when wearing gloves, but #2 has a nicer appearance.

I choose #1 for functionality.

 

Let's get ready to rumble!
