Rear pop out side windows

Post by Curly »

Hello if I want to replace my rear pop out side windows with fixed glass do I just buy the seals for a fixed window set up or will I have other problems . I already have a spare set of glass from a non opening window car .
Thanks

Thanks Darryl
Was going to buy new as not that expensive and am guessing that yours are the originals which would make them 30yrs old I think , but hey prove me wrong and tell me you only bought them last year .

Hi Paul,

Just read your post again and yes, all you'll need is to buy the seals - no other challenges. Oh and the chome trim for them too. Also, install these onto the rubber before installing them as it is a lot more difficult otherwise.
