    The wife mad.

    Polycarbonate window slider query.

    Ive got polycarbs in my corsa b with sliders in the front windows and was wondering if any body had suggestions or pictures of ways to secure them in the shut position so they cant be slid from the outside, I was thinking along the lines of a small "R" clip on a chain and drilling a hole in the lower rail to block the slider??
    Any suggestions welcomed.

    Ive got a little split pin on a chain, then a small hole drilled in the closed position.

    works a treat

    If you go to page 64 of this months total vauxhall you can just about see where i have drilled the hole.

    Its the white nova titled "a quick spin"

    No pics till after the weekend.

    Its really quite simple. Close the window and drill a small hole in the lower rail just behind the slider so a pin can be inserted. Thus making the window un-openable

    Then open the window and drill another hole in front of the slider so the same pin (on a chain) can be inserted. Thus making the window un-closable. (this part is not neccaserry but does stop the slider rattling when open and driving)
