Hi folks - I'm going to try and install a set of alpine windows in my '88. I have the windows and the gaskets/locking strips but need to cut the holes. Does anybody have a roof with the alpine windows OUT that can give me some measurements?? I think I would need the following:
Distance from drip channel to bottom edge of hole
Distance from back of roof to back of hole
Total length of hole (apex to apex)
Vertical width of hole measured along the arc (I guess measured by extending the top and bottom edges with a ruler to clear the front curve then measuring the distance between those lines along the outer curvature of the roof).
This is the only way I can think of accurately transposing the hole onto my roof. Any other ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
John O
