In an effort to find out what it takes to switch to single side windows I removed the thin shelf under the small sidelight and carefully built a corrugated plasic pattern for the proposed glass. It can be accomplished reasonably well if you don't object to a small black metal filler in the front lower corner (see attached). When lowereing the side window it sides forward at a greater angle than the visible angle of the widow frame, causing it to run into an obstruction that I don't to modify.
If any of you have knowledge of a better solutioon, please let me know. I like the look but I'm not sure if I want to proceed. My car is not in need of bodywork or new paint so major metal work is not in the cards.
