It's warmed up here, about 105 this weekend, so I'm thinking about getting some good windows to let the AC keep me cool. I have the factory Mopar top and factory sliding windows, but want something that looks a little nicer and seal a little better. Anyone have any good experience on VMania windows or any other aftermaket windows. 1,000 bucks is a bit steep for something I only need for 3 months out of the year, anyone know of some used ones.
VMania Windows?

I have the Autoform top with glass windows that came with the RT/10 I just picked up:

I'm thinking about selling the top and windows if there was any interest. Just not so sure how I can ship it!

Yeah not sure if the windows would work with the factory top (I probably wouldn't separate the two).
Love it so far aside from one emissions not passing issue lol!

I had the V-Mania windows with the small slide windows, and liked them.Sold them and bought their solid windows, now that I have installed door poppers.

Don't even wait. Just BUY THEM. They are worth every penny. You think only a few months/times a year you'll use them? Not! you will like the look so much that they will be on more than you think. Cool evening want to go for a ride? Too hot and want to use the air? late in the season and you dont want to put it away yet? I use mine all year. Small "wing window" on the drivers side, solid on the passenger side. Just do it.
The only reason I say I would only use them a couple months out of the year is because around here, Arizona, we don't have to store the car in the winter, you drive it with the top off. Not a jab at the cold climate folks, just saying that the only time I would need it is when it's so hot that I need the AC. When I bought the car, I figured I would hardly ever drive it, only when the weather is ideal. I almost bought one without AC. Now I love driving it so much, I don't want to miss the summer months too.
Anyway, just want to get an idea how people like the Vmanias. I hope I can find some used. I see JonB has them at Partsrack, but still, at just over a grand...ouch.
Repeal the Viper Tax!!!

I've got them on my 94 and love them. Use them in the winter and the summer with the A/C on. No wind noise, good fit ....as for leaking.....I don't know of too many RT/10's that don't leak in rainfall. As for the price consider it "VIPER TAX".

Another endorsement here- love my VMania windows on my '94. They're expensive, but buy them and cry once, as opposed to crying often when you'd want to take a cruise with windows in.

The year your hardtop was made makes a huge difference in how well the VMania windows fit. The weatherstripping is different depending on where they were made. I bought them for the 94 I had and they stuck out about 1/2" where the hardtop met the windshield pillar. I wound up stripping off the factory weatherstripping from my hard top, so that I could get the windows to fit. I haven't heard of anyone having trouble with them fitting the softtop.
GREAT ADVICE when considering used. "IF YOU DONT KNOW ALL ABOUT VIPERS....KNOW YOUR VENDOR!" So many e-bay sellers dont know WHAT the heck they are selling, or what the differences really are. "THE YEAR MATTERS" is my mantra. And THE TOP MATTERS on V-mania windows!
Our new windows are finished-to-order for YOUR top choices.....and we have scores of happy customers. Ours all come with sliders on BOTH sides...... many used windos saved $ and only got drivers-sliders, or ordered solids (no slider) for electric pops. BE CAREFUL BUYING USED unless you know the differences. "IF YOU DONT KNOW ALL ABOUT VIPERS....KNOW YOUR VENDOR!"
Jon, I think I need to give you a call. I have a 96 with the factory hardtop. Your website lists them for $1049 but then adds $100 for the sliders. Also, do you give a VCA discount and how much would the shipping be to AZ? Your reputation around here is outstanding so I would love to do business with you.
By the way, not trying to scam anyone here. I'm not listed as a VCA member here yet, but called and signed up last week, just waiting for the number. Supposed to be getting an e-mail soon and the packet in the mail in 3 weeks.

Jon B is one of the best you can deal with anywhere for Viper parts. I bought a clutch and pressureplate from him for our 94 Viper, and it was everything he said it would be.
