Puma. removing side window
Has anyone removed the side windows on there Puma I have seen some sliding windows on the Masia web site but I have been told its hard to removed the old windows without damaging the side panels so it would be better to fit the panoramic glass

If your going to go the panoramic glass route, I’d choose VGS over Masai glass, I have Masai glass on the sides but the backdoor glass is VGS, much better Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90

I am thinking of the sliding windows that's why I need to know how difficult it is to remove my puma windows without any damage to the panels, panoramic glass would cover any damage.

Sulisuli, I don't know who VGS are any chance or a link please.

Mine was damaged and it's no simple task to remove them since they are glued. We used a wire cutter (don't know the exact term, but it was a rope which cuts the glue in the corner). Need to be very careful but it's doable, if you take your time. a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover

That's interesting mate. What would you say is better about VGS glass? I presumed they were pretty much identical.

Poles apart Zed, the sides were already fitted when I purchased the defender and made by Masai, if I was doing it again I’d go for VGS without doubt Thumbs Up
Firstly their name is emblazoned on it, the glass quality seems better, overall a nicer product. 2015 HT XS 90

Glad I bought the VGS rear screen then but it was pure luck. I had planned to buy the Masai but they were out of stock at the time.

I'm happy with the VGS although I may get it tinted a bit more. Also I was slightly peeved I got rid of my Nakatanenga brake light. The bonded unit isn't as nice.

like you i preferred the Nakatanenga brake light over the VGS fitted one, but in fairness the Nakatanenga brake light is a high quality unit and it would add to much to the price of the rear glass Im guessing.

Have you fitted a larger rear wiper blade, i have and in now wipes the area of the rear brake light Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90

I hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a try.
