Marquee retainer options

<< < (6/8) > >>

Afterburner:
I cut a 1/4" wide groove into the sides and lower portion of the cab where the marquee goes.  The top-most panel of my cab comes off via 4 screws.  I have the same 1/4" groove cut into it.  To install/remove the marquee I remove the top panel and the marquee slides right out of the groove.

I don't have retainer clips or anything like that.

Tonyjambo:
Hmmmm,

Maybe iu went ghetto on this ..... for my marquee i painted the back of the plexi with a 3/4" wide black border.  i then attached a couple of 1/4 round strips on the vertical portions of the marquee box that lined up with the horizontals formed by the top panel and speaker panel.  I then added velcro to all sides and hold my marquee in with velcro only - works perfectly.

i also didnt like the idea of a fixed bezel so mine is easily removable - the top of the bezel/glass slots ito a groove between the back of the speaker panel and a retaining piece of 1/4 round - spaced to fit my plexi and held in with panel pins.  The edges are pressure fitted against 2 pieces of 1/4 round and the bottom is held in place by the back side of my CP.

So to remove my bezel I lift my CP - finagle the bottom of the glass out and then pull it out the top slot.

Will post pics when i get home but i think it looks decent

Hey there,

Here's another thread about the same topic:

If you are using t-molding and the top and bottom of your marquee are close to being in line this may work for you as well:

I did this and it turned out pretty nice.

Good luck,

I would like to see a few pictures of this. I'm at the point where I need to make a decision and this sounds interesting.

Silverwind:
I used two pieces of 3/4" angle aluminum.  Cut them with a hacksaw to size, pre drilled holes with a standard drill bit, and then painted them black.

I was happy with the result and it was easily done.  (still need a bezel though)
