Dan,

Great idea about the radio. I have heard about the leaking problem but I  must 
be a glutton for punishment or just stubborn - I simply must have them.
I am planning on one for the rear as well only for use while parked. I heard it 
was a bad idea to drive with the front ones open in case you hit an armadillo 
or something.

safaris, they all leak, some  just leak less.  If you are going to run safaris 
keep a towel behind the  seat to sop up the water.  If you have a radio mounted 
in the parcel tray  you may want to put a piece of sheet metal over the top of 
it (hidden under the  dash) to keep the water from dripping on it.  Also, 4" 
wide clear packaging  tape over the outside of the window-to-body connection 
works wonders at slowing  down the flow of water into the bus.  Keep a roll of 
that behind the seat  as well.  Been there, done that, your mileage may vary.

   i'm    going to use the seals they offer, i had also read on TS that there 
were    better seals, but i figured i'd give these a shot first. Also, i would  
  recommend ordering these windows well before you need them as there was a 
long    wait, although he said that they have finally caught up and have some 
ready.    
   When    ever i get around to installing them i'll take lots of pix and post  
them.
    
   thanks,

Hi Jeff,

I have been reading about IZZ's safari windows on    Samba cause I'm gonna buy 
a set for the first time. Can you tell me the    website? Also what seals are 
you going to use?
Thanks!
