| (...) Hi Tim, John and Thomas, Thanks for all the replies and thoughts. Yeah, blocky indeed. I am wishing there were a better 5 wide window option myself. I have considered cutting the 4 wide windscreens and making them into 5 wide. I have so many 4 (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-06, to lugnet.town)
