I have an aluminium truck cap/shell/camper/topper with a rectangular solid window, I've replaced 1 with 1/4 inch plexi, but I'd like a slider to go between the truck (which already has a slider) and the cap. Has anyone done anything like this or have any ideas how to make this work? the window is held in with an easy to remove Y channel I guess I'd call it (a C channel with a leg coming from the spine of the C) it's held in with a sheet metal screw every 6 or 8 inches so it takes maybe an hour with a wrench and putty knife to pull it
My only idea is to make some additional S shaped (straight sides not a curved S) track that screwed onto the frame of the window that would hold an additional piece of plexi that would act as a slider, my biggest concern here is the plexi binding in this track and developing a decent seal between the pieces of plexi. Any ideas to improve my idea or generally a design idea of your own would be appreciated
