Had series 1 opening rear glass on my series 2.They fitted with no leeks,but series 1 glass is brown tint and series 2 glass is green tint.Looked a bit odd so took them off.

You can still get the Green tint glassd from ford, good luck with the seals though

I got everything of mine new, even got a spare seal as they tracked down an extra one

Glass was £49.50 per side, which i don't think is a bad price
The brackets and stuff will cost about £30 ish, but you can't get the opening hinges or seals anymore

The seals for the opening rear quarters are one seal, there is no break in them
