Hi Steve,
The doors [ and other grey bits] are made in Polyester Resin, scuff the grey
gelcoat off completely in the bonding area, [80 Grit] and stick the glazing
directly onto the exposed fibres.Reason ? The original rebate in the door is
2mm, the Perspex [ Plexiglass] is now 3mm thick.
The grey finnish only needs flatting before primer, the paint should be
carried over onto the perspex, to hide the glue line.There will be a joggle
between
the level of the perspex, and the door skin, fill with expancell / epoxy.
Make sure you mask both sides of the glazing before you start bonding, and
use pvc tape [ electrical insulation tape] NOT PAPER MASKING TAPE. Leave the
glazing covered until after painting.
Cheers,
Nev.
