I have driving around open at full mast on the freeway and on the back roads if
you close all the outher windows you get a 20mph breeze even at 65 open a side
window and get your hat removed . But no cop problems.

With the right sunglasses safaris are good to about
50 mph. Make sure your tabs are welded in well though and don't
smile.
Aside from bugs in your teeth the
other "problem" is that safaris may or may not be legal. A lot of
jurisdictions require a windshield in front of the driver. Occasionally
you will run in to an old cop that knows this and he will pull you over.
Why you can ride a motorcycle without windshield or a helmet face shield
but you must have a windshield on a vehicle I don't know. I always
plead ignorance (easy for me) and said they were factory and never got a
ticket. Just something you should be aware of. Have your story
straight before you get pulled over.

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 are very nice in good weather but suck
when it is raining. I have had OG & repop 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,
jeff

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!
