[VAC] Wrap Window Woes



After leaving the window frames to my '71 Safari front wrap windows (left
and right) at the plasitcs shop for two weeks while they tried to cut the
plexiglass to fit, I have come to realize they cannot do it!

I called them after they had them a week, and they reminded me they still
had a week to do them.  So I called them today, they day they were due, and
they told me they had till 5pm.

So I went there to pick them up which is 45 minutes away, execpt for in
commute traffic ;-(

They were of course not ready.  The manager said they would try a to make a
paper template and they might be able to do it tomorrow.  Well, I figured if
they could not do it in two weeks, they can't do it.  So I asked for a
refund.

Now, I have decided to take the frames to a metal shop and see if they can
be fitted with alumium.

If anyone else has gone through this and has some tips, I am open for
suggestions.  The paper bags duct taped to the airstream are getting old.
