Guest tctoy89 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 1989 red hard top with glass separating in the round windows with the emblem. Is the emblem sandwiched between two panes. If so there are bubbles forming around the edges. Can this be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim_McNally Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Search in the post archives for porthole window repair - there are many posts about this, and what to do. It's probably the #1 cosmetic issue with these vehicles...Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rofly1 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Fred,Join the club.. TCClubofAmerica there you can get access to all of the quarterly newsletters since 1992 I believe that almost every tc issue is covered there. It is 39.50 a year.

Guest Jim_McNally Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I was just thinking of the search function on the main page of this forum - it's the tab right above where it has "Ratings Last Post Replies Views" I just ran a search for "porthole" and got 46 threads...Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe47 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Speaking of these windows.... I have read all the posts and the recent newsletter reprint of how to separate the windows. I can't find the right tool to get behind the outer glass.. Anyone have a suggestion ? Joe47 :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee_M Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 joe47,i used a hair drier to warm the outer glass and urethane sealant sandwiched in between the outer and inner panes.to pry the outer glass free, i used a plastic painter's scraper,in order to avoid marking the paint around the opera window.i think you have little to worry about with breaking the glass.go slow and gentle.oh, although i do recall that at some point the urethane will suddenly let go, so be ready to catch the glass - another warm body and pair of hands with a cardboard box underneath, maybe...

The Trident is still in place and the window does not leak as it is securely adhered to the top on the backside of the top. Looks real good too.
