Has anyone used a Fein Multimaster for the cut? That has been my plan
up to this point.

I performed a test cut by putting some plexi in the deep freeze and then
cutting it. No issues.

We rough trimmed the plastic on the bandsaw, used a 4" grinder to get
closer and then used a variety of sanders for the finish. I'll probably
go back and put a rounded edge on them before I install them.

I used the Multimaster on the first window I tried to trim and it
snapped in half. I strongly suggest that you use the cut off wheels
that Vans provided to make the initial trim on the window and sand it
down for the final fit.

You'd think I've redone all my windows at this point... but so far,
only two.

2 questions of academic interest only
- what multimaster blade did you use - a fine tooth saw type or the tile
cutter type of abrasive blade?
- I've never found the Vans supplies cutoff wheels - where are they?

.. fine tooth saw type blade. I was cutting down in to the arc of
the window and it went "pop" with about an 8" crack.

the wheels were supplied with the finish kit... don't remember the bag
number.

as long as you've got adequate air pressure, the cutoff wheels work
very well... no need to reinvent the "wheel" on this one.

The fine tooth blade is the proper blade to use for this. I used a Fein on all the windows including the windscreen with no problems.

Thanks Michael. That's what I was thinking too. The circular blade, correct?

Ya, they come in full circular and half moon.  If you don’t have the Fein yet, look at some of the alternatives.  I bought mine within a couple months of their patent running out and now there are at least a half dozen knockoffs for a fraction of the price.
