Since the NSX had a 2 pane rear window I was wondering if it would be worth it for the 914? I know the NSX has a vacuum in between to cut sound transmission that would be hard to create.
The 914 has the room on the "ledge" for 2 and a gap (5mm + 5mm + 5mm). fire away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chatsmiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE It would also keep the rear window from fogging. Until the edge seal fqails then it will fog when water gets in. Insulated galss is not a good application for cars, and it would be difficult to accommodate the thickness of that glass assembly in teh rabbet of the 914 rear window. A much better idea is laminated glass...it has a higher sound isolation rating than insulated glass and could be made as a direct replacement for the thickness of the stock glass. Its the same stuff used as windshields. |
