focused313 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I took 3 pieces of mdf and made a new, stronger, rear hatch floor in my magnum. From there, I covered it with hardwood flooring and cut out a window for plexi in the last piece that folks up and opens for access to the amps. As you can see, there isn't much of a lip for it to sit on. It's about 1/4'. I'm looking for a way to secure the plexi to the wood, where it sits flush (or atleast I want it to). I'd like for screws not to show, but I'm honestly open to any and all ideas. I'm in the process of putting suede on the box, creating a beauty panel for the front and top in black vinyl, and repainting the hole vents as well as the piano hinge. Any pics that show an example of your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Learning Everyday.

I would like something I could remove, only because I plan on having a few different windows. They are pretty cheap and I just get frosted vinyl with different designs cut into them.

CJ18 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Silicone should do the trick. Another option would be to make a trim ring that goes over the edge of the plexi to hide the seam and you can use a brad nailer to secure the trim ring in place. Easily removable by just popping off the trim ring to swap out windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily removable by just popping off the trim ring to swap out windows. that's what I was thinking too. kind of like a picture frame that holds the front and back of the plexiglass.then use silicon like cj18 stated to secure the plexiglass in the "frame" Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEEMDUB Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Velcro strips. I tried this and unless you have thin strips it will make the windows above the floor and not flush..I just got some elmers glue all max and glued mine down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hammer Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Why does it have to be removeable if it all folds up?? I say silicone it in there with clear silicone so you cant see it through the plexi. You should probably build a trim ring to go around it...in which case you could hide screws. Ehh there are a couple different ways but I agree on the idea with the brad nails and frame style mounting.

mbdblue Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Id use #6 black screws and paint a black rectangle border on the plexi to hide the seam.
