The GTM Libra uses Perspex screens to the rear and side of the rear panel. These screens are attached to the rear panel using stainless steel nuts and bolts. The side screens are shaped in such a manner to enable air to be drawn into the engine bay.

Assembly

The rear window T1006 and the two engine cover side windows T1OO3 and T1104 are all made from perspex. The windows are supplied preformed and all fixing holes are pre drilled. Position the windows into the moulding apertures centralise the position and tape into place.

Drill through the holes in the perspex to mark the glass fibre mould section which locates the window. Make sure the drill is smaller than the holes in the perspex window: Once the position has been marked in the glass fibre remove the perspex windows and drill through the fibreglass with a clearance hole the same size as the hole in the perspex windows.

You may want to paint a black band on the moulding around the window surround or fit a rubber strip between the perspex and the rear moulding. Fix the perspex windows in place with the stainless steel fittings in the perspex fixing pack T1108.
