I went to a plexy glass company and had them make me some side windows, used my regular side windows as a form, You will probaby have to measure and trim the glass a few time to get it to sit right before you put it on the aluminum rail. I would take your car with you so you can measure and trim on the spot. the plexy glass is as tall as the windshild, then went to Home Depot and bought a piece of aluminum angle arm, about 1/32 thick and 1 1/2 inches wide on each side and cut it to fit the bottom of the window. Also bought some small bolts, lock washers and nuts to attach the aluminum piece to the plexy grass, you have to drill the plexy glass, be careful it can crack. Also, round and smooth the edges of the aluminum. Then I drilled three holes in the aluminum to put the three bolts in that go in the holes on the door. The bolts need to be the same size as the slides in the holes in your door. You might take one with you to measure, they need to be at least 2 1/2 long. I pull the wind wings in to steady the windows so thay don't move, I put a small piece of velcro on the window edge so it doesn't scratch the wind wing. I put some rubber insulation, about 1/4 inch thick on the bottom of the aluminum so that it doesn't scratch the top of the door. It really cuts down the wind by about 80%. This seems like a lot of work, but it should take no more than 2 or 3 hours after you get all the material.
