I have two sets of hard windows that slide but kind of like the vipermania windows because you can run them with the top off and they look ten times better. They have them with the vents too, anyone have them?

Yep. They are the hizzle (trying to be young again). They really put a nice factory look on the car and smooth out the side as they extend to the sport bar.

The vents slide easily and promote decent air flow through the cockpit.

The best part as opposed to the oem windows: When I park the car and pull the windows out of the trunk, I always get "man that is so cool" from someone in the parking lot.

They are cheap at twice the price, grab a pair.

-- No, I don't work at Viper Mania. HA!

+ Great looking. Looks like OEM.
+ You can drive your car like a real convertible. Esp. the passenger side is better protected from the wind.
+ Biff is a great guy to deal with. Excellent customer service.

Con
====

- Rather spendy. Profit margin must be around 70%-80%

I bought a set for my '95. I like them a lot. It is nice to be able to leave the windows in, and the car still look great. The vent's are nice as you can open them a little when cruising and get some air blowing through the car. Downside is the black around the vents partially blocks the mirror for me (5' 10"). Biff is a great to work with. Pricey, but very well made and worth every dollar.

I have had them for quite a while. Very good product. They can be used top off for highway or cool weather driving and make it much nicer inside. I have not used them this year though as the RT/10 now is a perfect weather only car. No roof or windows used in over a year.

I went through 2 other brands of windows (trying to save money) before I bought the Vmania windows. As far as I'm concerned, they are the best.

I own 3 different set of windows. All of them are tinted, otherwise they look stupid.

The Viper Mania windows look awesome, and the slider window is good for getting some air, but who needs that when you have A/C. The main use for this slider window is so that you can reach in, grab the door handle and open your door. It is too small of a window so your arm will not fit out of it. It pops in and out in seconds with no screws or bolts needed. We once left a night club and there was a taco shop right there that we wanted to drive through, but with the top on and the windows on, you can't go through the drive through without opening your door to get the stuff, and it was too narrow for that. So just before we went in, I opened the door, popped the window out and handed it to my passenger. Took all of 5 seconds, and all of about 7 seconds to put back in after we were done.

I have the AutoForm window which is very similar to the Viper Mania window, except the sliding window portion opens up over 1/3 of your side window --actually, almost half the window, so you can literally go through a drive through and pull food in through your hard windows -- cool! It also has a locking feature, so that people can't get into your car by sliding the window and opening the door. This one requires you to screw in a bolt at the top. It has the tightest fit with the least amount of air hissing (leaks) in the cabin.

I have the Snake oyl curved windows -- these are the only windows I will put on the car when I drive with the top off. They look cool in my opinion and reduce wind hammering by a LOT. WHen I drove up to Las Vegas (5 hours) I had the top off and these windows in and wind levels in the cockpit were minimal -- we were listening to a comedy CD on the way up there, to give you an indication.

So, in all, I think I like the looks of the Viper Mania window the best with the top on, the Snake Oyl for sure with the top off, and if I am going somewhere where I want to secure my car by having it locked, then the Autoform windows are best.

I will try to take photos of all three this weekend so you can see what I am talking about.
