Flush mount rear window pics
I have a 1991 964 turbo. I am thinking about going with a flush mount rear window. Does anyone have pics so I can see if I want to go this route?

Jack Olsen has one. You can do a search for his photos.
You can get the parts from TRE Motorsport. (Dave Bouzaglou's username here is "TRE Cup")

Ya Dave and I have been talking. He is supposed to send some pics so I can decide if it will look good on my car. How do you do a search for photos?

I got mine from Spektr Products. I spent about 6 hrs installing it. I used a glazing tape between the frame and the body to try and get it water proof, still leaks. I thought there was about a 10 lb. weight savings. O.K. for a race car but wouldn't do it on a street car.

Hey Gumba do you think it is possible to hide the screws and make it look like a stock style mount? I have not seen exactly how it mounts so I cant tell

The plex came mounted in a frame from Spektr. The screws are used to attach the unit to the body. I also added a few aluminum screws to the top corners to hold the plex tight to the body. You could try mounting it with a fastener epoxied to the inside of the frame. But then I would add 2 aluminum bars top to bottom to make sure it didn't blow out.
I did the same thing on the rear vents. I bought the frames from Spektr and bought 3/16" plex locally. I installed the frames to the body, then the plex. The door windows and vents are also 3/16" plex. Painting them flat black would make them disappear. This is a street legal race car that we transport on an open trailer so I was trying to get it water tight. plex.

In a road car with potentially closed doors and windows and a functioning ventilation system, what happens to the egress of cabin air through the top vents above the rear window? That vent is now covered by glass, right?

Found a quarter view of my car showing the flush mounter rear window.. I got mine from GT Racing...
The fit was pretty good, just needed a little grinding and tweaking to install

That would have to be the sexiest 911 I've seen in a long while...

Jack your window looks a little different. I cant see the screws you used to attach it? Do you have any closer pics? Car looks great! Here is a pic of mine. The rear window looks bad to me after I discovered the flush setup
