you need to get them from a s1 ... altohugh i do belive german s2's might have came with them..i have them fitted to my s2 they're not to bad to fit a couple of rivets at the front and a couple of fiddly screws at the back,i got the fitting kit for the ford ka's rear windows to do the job i think i was about a fiver for it!!

There's green rear sets about but nott too many. Think Ford still had a couple sets around...

They do green tint on the S2. Was an option. I fitted a set onto my old XR3i with no problems.

The B-post trims are okay as they have the cut-outs pre made. You need to cut the C-pillar trim on each side to allow for the catch to fit on, however, if you remove the trim, there is a template built in for you to cut accurately .

ive got two sets of brand new green tint opening quarters still wrapped up since i bought them, i bought two sets incase of breakages lol. you can get all the fitting bolts and caps etc from ford still as i bought two sets of these aswell, the only thing you cant get is the hinges and catches new anymore, i managed to get the last one national clearance had.

Only if it's another Escort mk3/4 - otherwise the shape will be different.
