Do you HAVE to install the glass doors? Is it going to look badly out of place without them?

It might look a little bit odd without them. The center shelf, sticks out about 3/4" further than the shelves behind the doors. Also, the sides of the middle shelf are not finished. So you see that 3/4" on the side that's unfinished without the door covering it. You could probably use a black sharpie on it though...

Yes you have to install the glass doors but it is easy. If you don't want to, it doesn't look bad without them. However, it does keep the dust out.

You wouldn't have to install them but they look very nice with the doors. The only disadvantage is that the glass is smoked so the view is not as clear as other glass. I have framed photos in that section and you can still see them fairly well.

You do not have to install the glass doors. If you have something that you want to display on the shelves it is easier to see those items. I will say that the doors give it a more "complete" look.

To reiterate what the other said, you do not have to install the doors. You should though. If you're worried about overheating, they can be left open and it's open in the back.

You do not need to install the doors, but the unit looks much better if you do.

Yes, it is not that bad of an install, hardest part being screws. Take a picture and draw numbers on the picture and keep the screws in something seperate like cups and label the cups.

Seems like you've answered your own question. Yes, you should be get the unit into that size window without the side curtains. Will probably have to fabricate your own weather proofing for the sides.

No, you should not see a difference. We have 2 of 4 glass doors done and they appear the same.

The back mirrors should be in place - at least this is how mine was delivered. The side panels, which have mirrors as well, needed to be glued to the cabinet, unless you install the cabinet inside the wall rather than on the outside, in which case you would not need the side panels.

You may want to check your installation because my unit went together fairly easy and everything fit okay. I do know that there is an adjustment on where the glass doors slide into the metal hinges. There should be a screw that secures the hinges to the glass. Could that be the problem? I actually put mine together quite a while back so I don't really remember some of the detail.

Without seeing the window I really don't know. There are 2 parts to the door that have to be fastened together, so I don't know how you would do it with glass unless you could fastened it to the wooden frame of the window.

Mine works fine, the doors are well held. You can try moving the glass retaining brackets a bit.

None on mine. I did take the precaution adding some 2x2s under each section and I did put the glass support tabs over the middle uprights and not out at the edges.

YES, YOU CAN INSTALL THEM YOURSELF, AND THERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT. THEY LOOK QUITE NICE AT NIGHT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIYXMElJLlk hope this helps.

There is no glass on the door. I am not sure about attaching glass. I like it better without the glass though.

I did not have to remove mine when I installed them. I watched some videos on YouTube that helped me.

You need to screw the knobs on and the legs. I personally did not want the legs

Mine went together just fine. There are holes that the glass door hinges go into on the top and bottom and that holds the glass in place.

I recommend using the relocated mirrors when the doors are off and using the original mirrors when the doors are on. In other words, I didn't bother relocating the mirrors but kept an extra set for "door-off" driving.

Yes, the glass panels are attached to the doors, however, you do not have to put the doors on the unit. We initially left them off, but then decided to put the doors on to hide some of the wires and components.
