« on: 05 August 2011, 09:22 »

Never seen it plus with how they are mounted cannot see how it could be done.

You could probably do it but it would be more effort than its worth. Everything would need to be fabricated to specification. Glass would need to be drilled for holes for the hinges and catch, hinges and catch would need to be made to fit the location of where they are going, or ones off another car retrofitted, and a new seal that would sit in the frame rather than be attached to the glass itself.
