Default Forbidden usa hardtop with glass window help?

Hey whats up guys and girls I have a forbidden usa hardtop and was curious if there are any other companies who produce glass rear windows for the mugen hardtop, rather than vis and whether if anyone has installed a vis glass mugen hardtop window onto the forbidden usa mugen hardtop? I really need a glass window and just would like to know if anyone has had any experience with the vis glass window installed on the forbidden hardtop.
Thank you in advance.

I have been told by several people, including Alberto from Forbidden USA that the VIS glass window will fit. I will be installing it on mine this fall.

it will fit, there is room for play that is why there is a molding and must be glued on

The window is quality but the seal sucks. when you take it to your local glass installer they will have a better one. if you plan on tinting the window do so about a week before you take it to get the glass installed.

the plexi window that comes with the forbidden top is ok unless you actually plan on washing it/etc. Mine leaked a TON until I just gobbed a thick bead and even then it kinda leaked. Let me know about the VIS seal.
