Default Opening rear quarters on S2

Hi all
Can anyone tell me how easy it is to fit S1 opening rear quarter windows in my S2.
Are there any brackets or fixings that window hole on car needs?

Thanks

the holes are there remove old window and rubber, rivet hinges etc into B pilar and the opening hinges with original screws your done, the b pilars already have the cut out and the c pilars are easy to trim and i beleve have the bit marked to cut

or get s2 opening rears, ok expensive (i know ive had loads) and matching colour class, much better

i use rivets cos its eacy, ford used clinch nuts and screw, its hassle and rivets are easy to sort, dont force a screw or bolt in as it'll pop out and bust your glass

Don't get s1 windows, they are the wrong tint and don't look right IMO. Look for some proper green tint ones which were fitted to european S2's. I had some years ago which were like brand new but sold them

Thanks guys saved me finding out the hard way when I stand back to admire it and noticing the tint.
Any ideas on tracking down some S2 ones? I take it they are like rocking horse droppings.
