well i took off all the bolts you covered in your thread and was lifting up on the notchback clip and my passenger sailpanel shattered into a thousand pieces. its on an 84, so since its already broke i found out there are a few bolts attaching them to the clip. was hoping to save those sail panels for my camaro hatchback coversion but it looks like more fiberglass work is in order.

I think the '84s sail panels were glass. The rest of them were plastic. Going with plastic will save some weight but it's a shame to have lost one of the rare glass panels. Too bad.

I know that YOU know that they are glass. Many others who read this may not and might have thought you were exaggerating. I was also attempting to be sympathetic to your problem. Apparently, no good deed goes unpunished. Go sweep your driveway.

Understood. We're cool. If it helps any, I know RobsFieros had a set of the glass ones before his accident. Not sure if they survived the "help" that he received. You should try to contact him.

I have a glass sail panel, great condition and the frame's good too. It even has the SE logo and I have an '85 SE that needs sails on both sides....
I just wonder if the glass one will fit in an '85 - it has studs in the places where the later cars have clips. Any ideas?
(Sorry to hijack your thread, but the subject of glass sails seemed sort of on-topic). BTW GREAT conversion. I'm not much of a fastback fan, but I do like the "poor man's wide-body" concept; I love the pointy nose of the non-aero cars.[This message has been edited by Fierotoyboy (edited 06-15-2012).]

ROB got more than anyone could imagine, he will never have to work again in his life, however - after how certain people were treated by him after his wreck - I'm not urei woulddo any business with him anymore.

Thnaks man. I think that the 84's were the ONLY year with glass sail panels. I DO KNOW that The Fiero Factory will have them. Hereis their address:
The Fiero Factory
8710B Highway 53
Toney, AL 35773
(256) 420-5391
I thought I covered the part were the sail panels were taken off but thanks for the heads up.
