Hello everybody.

This is my first post and I just wanted to ask if possible and if anyone can help me:
- I have polycarbonate rear quarter windows for my hatch and also the back window. How do you recommend I install them correctly please? Preferrably using sealer/bolts and doing them in a clean manner as I'm modifying my car as a track-inspired street car.
- For the rear window, it is polycarbonate as well, and at the moment I have installed it with sealer underneath, with the carbon fiber trunk and had to get non-Honda rubber seal for the edges of the window as apparently you cannot get OEM or aftermarket perfect fit for the back window of a 98 hatch. Are there better ways how this could have been installed?
- I have a Bomex wing that is not currently installed on my trunk but the trunk door does not have the holes drilled in it yet. Do you have any recommendations on how to line up the holes of the wing exactly on the trunk door so as to drill please?
- And last question please, do you think it would be ok for a Bomex wing to rest on a polycarbonate rear window?

Thank you all and hello again!!
 
We attached ours with sealer and self tapping screws, it's done a few years racing now and been fine.

As for the wing, why would you need to drill holes? Do they not sit on the baseplate like pretty much every other wing? It should be fine on the poly carb as it bolted into the metal above the window
 
Thanks for the reply!! Really helpful.
As for the wing, it already has holes in it but the trunk does not have the holes for the wing as it is aftermarket. With the regards to the wing resting on the polycarbonate, bomex wings have a part that extends over the window for support and not just on the trunk metal part above the window.
Thank you again!!
